With the emergence of so many new Wilderness
Schools, we feel it is necessary to help define what makes
Natural Pathways so different
and why we feel we have something special to offer which is
complimentary to our industry.
We believe by connecting with nature, we connect with ourselves on
a deeper level. We use ...emphasizes self-development and promotes independenceSurvival/Bushcraft skills and in particular
Nature Awareness as the
medium for delivering this self awareness, helping young adults
come face to face with their true abilities, in a deliberate
effort to help them conquer their perceived weaknesses. Natural
Pathways emphasizes individual self-development and promotes
independence. We have proven to be instrumental in helping our
troubled youth gain a new perspective on life, while achieving
things they never thought possible.

Through work carried out in South Africa, the USA, Australia and
New Zealand, it has been shown that wilderness experience carries
with it a healing capacity and can be used to augment work with
youth at risk and young offenders. In South Africa, initiatives
have been used extensively to help develop leadership skills in
youth at risk, bring rival gangs together and work on personal
reform in young offenders.
