ACCOMMODATION
The youth hostels have dorms with multiple bunk beds along with shower facilities
and flushing toilets. The campsites have basic facilities. Both dorms and campsites
are safe and secure.
MEALS
We aim to provide healthy, balanced meals with fruit and filtered drinking water
throughout the day. Students will help prepare all meals.
EQUIPMENT
APA uses and maintains a high standard of equipment for all of
its activities. APA provides their own PFDs (Personal Floatation
Devices), ropes, helmets, harnesses and other technical
equipment.
SAFETY
All lead APA staff are First Aid qualified and carry radios, mobile phones and first
aid kits at all times.
APA follows a safety management system developed from decades of in-house
senior team experience and influenced by several leading national governing
bodies including: British Canoe Union, New Zealand Outdoor Instructors Award,
Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, UK's Mountain Leader Training Board
and USA's Rescue 3 International amongst others. APA has developed
professional skills training programs for everything from mountain biking to
rock rescue and regularly delivers Risk Management and Wilderness First Aid
courses for international school faculty.
FACILITATION
Our company specializes in facilitation with a high staff to student ratio of 1:12,
and 1:6 when using high elements and water based activities. Each group of
10-12 students will have their own APA facilitator for the entire program. Team
names, song/chants and team goals will be established and team reflection and
reviews carried out after each activity. Certificates will be given at the end of
program.
