The Centre, through its wide range of outdoor and adventurous activities, provides an educational medium through which people may be engaged in order to facilitate their personal development.

The Centre provides quality experiences in both generic and specific outdoor and adventurous activities giving people an opportunity to experience new challenges through which their social and personal development can be enhanced.

Although there is added value in providing practical and outdoor activities to promote leisure, recreational and social education, the primary purpose of the Centre lies in personal experiences and the development of the individual.
