Entabeni is widely acclaimed as a leader in the field of environmental and outdoor education and training. We conduct outdoor learning programmes for school groups of all ages and courses range from curriculum support (across all learning areas) to leadership training and group work. Each course is specifically negotiated around the needs of each client. For a first-time booking, a senior staff member will visit you to discuss the programme, your education needs and expected outcomes for your course course.
