Tribes compete to win challenges and solve problems. Young people explore innovation, team work, problem solving and communication by coming up with solutions to problems, learning to look at things differently and experiment whilst gaining an understanding of rights and responsibilities, community, communication, team work, interaction and enterprise.
The Survivor experience is tailored to fit the needs of the participating group, we can tailor learning outcomes and assessment criteria to meet a range qualifications and awarding bodies inc. OCN, ASDAN, National Curriculum, YAA. Survivor experience can be delivered in half day, full day or residential formats and can be focussed on team work, communication, enterprise or a combination of all 3.

Facepaint and temporary tattoos
Facepaint and temporary tattoos are a welcome add-on at any event. After a generous donation from Snazaroo facepaint company we are equipped to paint over 600 faces at any given event. Our temporary tattoos also prove widely popular with a range of designs. These activities compliment all our other services, and as our facepaints are fragrance free and kind to delicate skin, non-toxic and water-based so really easy to remove, there's no reason not to get involved and get creative!
