Our outdoor learning sessions are designed to give the participants a 'club based' activity that combines skills from Scouts, DofE, and basic survival training. Our proposal is to charge per member of staff per session. The rate for each member of staff per session is £75 excluding VAT, as part of this rate we include equipment, session planning, insurance, snacks for students and any incidental expenses incurred by the staff. To establish the number of staff required our suggested maximum ratios are 1:8. Sessions can be up to two hours long. We would suggest a minimum of two members of Inspired staff per session.
