Dr. Leo McAvoy keynote at AORE 2009
Dr. McAvoy spoke about three trends in the field of outdoor education. These trends are:
- The populations that we are receiving (in our programs) suffer from Nature Deficit Disorder.
- There is a professionalization of the outdoor leader (Academic degrees, certifications…).
- There is an increase of pressure on leaders to protect participants from all harm, leading to a water-down adventure experience.
What do you think about these trends?
