Programs at Tallong Campus promote interaction with the natural world, with the aim of developing understandings of our relationships with the environment and others, while learning about ourselves.
As a retreat centre, the campus' beautiful natural environment facilitates engagement in spiritual reflection and personal growth. A labyrinth onsite enables a further dimension to retreats.
Outdoor Education Programs at Tallong Campus are holistic and experiential. They seek to contribute to a sustainable community, which cares for the earth. A “Plan > Do > Review” learning process encourages participants to be reflective so that they can apply their learning to future activities.
Collaboration, problem solving, communication and teamwork are core skills, which are developed through the programs. Participants develop appreciation for their own and others’ gifts and are encouraged to value diversity.
