Celtic Warrior Training
You and your students can travel back in time and experience life as a warrior in Celtic Ireland, discovering how to survive in the wilderness of the Wicklow Mountains.
Back in ancient times, warriors were tested in spirit, strength and intellect. Your students will have great fun undergoing these same challenges in a beautiful setting.
Can you and your students scale a wall, or find medicinal plants in dark woods? With our expert trainers, who learned through the legacy of the great hunter-warrior Fionn Mac Cumhaill, you and your apprentice warriors will learn how to do this and so much more...
Each programme can be tailored to a story or theme which interests your students and your specific learning expectations, making it easier for them to understand and absorb all of the new knowledge and skills they will be gaining.
Your students will participate in three activities during the quest:
Treasure Hunt – the most essential of all warrior skills! Students will follow the clues and learn orienteering skills as they seek out the location of the treasure and complete the Kippure Warrior Challenge.
Wilderness Survival Skills – Your trainee warriors will learn to determine what foods they can eat to survive, how to make a magical healing potion and how to camoflauge themselves to evade their enemies. They will train their senses to sniff out danger, and understand their environment. Creative skills are tested too as they learn or compose a poem or story to share with their group.
Adventure Skills – Rock Climbing and Abseiling – Students will tackle our outdoor climbing wall to develop the physical strength and courage needed to protect Ireland from invading armies. |
