Outdoor Adventure

The Recreation Program currently operates four outdoor adventure programs.

Day Program

Offered to school groups and out-of-school youth groups of our partner organizations. Participants are led through the high and low ropes course elements in learning life skills such as: communication, leadership, conflict resolution, and problem solving skills. Character building skills include: trustworthiness, self-belief, and courage. TRP facilitators work in partnership with each group to decide on the most appropriate activities for the participants. Each activity has a specific learning goal.

Climbing Club

Participants in the Climbing Club will train with TRP staff on technical climbing skills and rope work. Weekly sessions will be ongoing for three months and will focus on actively learning about protecting the environment, adventure sports, use and care of equipment, outdoor first aid, and preparing for TRP’s outdoor wilderness excursions (see below).

Rock climbing provides the opportunity to learn life lessons in a fun and physical environment. Life skills such as leadership, cooperation and teamwork, trust, communication, planning, decision making and taking responsibility will be directly and in-directly addressed during the weekly sessions.

Children in conflict with the law

Goal:For children staying at the Gulu Remand Home to overcome traumatic experiences through participating in ongoing adventure-based therapy activities. TRP helps the children gain perspective on their life’s direction and provide opportunities for each of them to develop a positive self-image and address causes of criminal activity through mentoring and cooperative recreational activities.
