I understand that the activities which are a part of Mountains Youth Services Teams Outdoor Explore Program may include Bushwalking (on and off track), Canoeing, Mountain-biking, Abseiling, Rock Climbing, Swimming, Camping, Yoga, Raft Building, Low/High Ropes Course and Flying Fox Riding
Abseiling is the activity of descending down a rope, usually in a cliff environment, and including heights.
Bushwalking is the activity of walking in the natural environment which means it can involve walking up and down steep terrain, uneven surfaces, over, under and around various hazards and walking along rock edges.
Rock Climbing is the ascent of cliff faces using ropes and two belayers as a safety backup, and involving heights.
Mountain Biking consists of riding bicycles off road, often over rough terrain, over, under and around various hazards.
Swimming includes swimming in inland waterways such as rivers, creeks, streams, lakes, dams and lagoons where, dependent on factors such as swimming ability, water clarity, depth and temperature, participants may be required to wear Personal Flotation Devices (PFD’s). Swimming may include water entry techniques, such as jumping (from heights no greater than 10 metres) or sliding into water.
