YCF Learning Outdoors provides short half day, and day courses as will as overnight stays, with exclusive use of ancient landscape and woodland, providing the essentials for comfort, and facilitating personal reflection, outdoor skills building, and sustainability thinking. Courses run from March to October, and focussed on adult learning.

Full use of this stunning location covering 100 acres, and deep experience of nature and the woodland is included in all the learning packages.

LEARNING OUTDOORS

The healing and invigorating effects of being outdoors are well known, and often under-estimated in our more sedentary and indoors ways of living. Covid-19 has taught us how important the outdoors is to our wellbeing. The 'learning outdoors' courses bring people from all walks of life together, to explore nature, connect with each other, and take time reflect on what is important. Sustainable living and sustainable business are key concepts which are covered.

The Positive Effect of Walking on Creative Thinking

Give Your Ideas Some Legs!

Research report: Experiments demonstrate that walking and being in nature boosts creative ideation in real time and shortly after.

Walking outside produced the most novel and highest quality analogies. The effects of outdoor stimulation and walking were separable. Walking opens up the free flow of ideas, and it is a simple and robust solution to the goals of increasing creativity and increasing physical activity.
