Combat Obesity • Learn to live an active lifestyle • Learn to balance healthy and ‘sometimes’ food
Outdoors • Develop an understanding of the environment, self and others • Impacts on personal behaviours and social interaction • Being outside engages and challenges individuals (Tinning, McCuaig & Hunter, 2006: 190-91)
