During January I ran a series of First Aid Training sessions for staff and pupils at tasisportugal Many organisations offer Sports and Outdoor programs and don't consider all aspects of safety management until an accident occurs. Tasis should be commended for wanting to plan ahead to ensure the safety of their students.

With twenty years of working as an Outdoor Instructor and 9 years of delivering fully regulated first aid qualifications in line with the guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council, we can not only help ensure your staff are qualified and confident if an accident does occur, but also provide insight into how to organise safety management to minimise the risk of accidents occurring during sports and adventurous activities.

I am running a L2 Outdoor First Aid Course in English in Cascais on Sunday 16th March. This course is designed for those who take part in sports activities or outdoor activities as part of their work or leisure time and would like training for their own confidence, or who require a qualification.

You can reserve a place using the link below or contact me at dan@thetrainingcentre.pt or on 963 709 346 for more details.

Here is a video that shows some highlights of the first program we ran in Portugal. This program taught students about how climate change is affecting the risk of wildfires in Portugal, and included a service project whereby they removed invasive and planted native species to help reduce those risks, all whilst having a lot of fun.

This is typical of the programs we continue to run that include adventure, conservation, service learning that are designed by qualified teachers and delivered in line with international best practices.

We are delighted to be working SLOmads Natureventures on Halloween themed camps for families. We will be helping out with the wilderness medical training and taking advantage of the marshmallows on the campfire.

Do you want your kids to disconnect from their screens and plug in to nature instead?
Do you want yourself and your teens to learn the skills to be safe and take care of others in the wilderness and during adventure travel?
Do you want to celebrate Halloween with your pre-teens and teens in a teenager-appropriate way (special effects makeup, campfires, s'mores, and spooky campfire stories)?
Do you or your kids want to learn the skills they will need for summer or gap-year jobs in nature?
Are you ready for a week of relaxation AND FUN?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then read on!

The time has finally come to BOO-k your spots for the Halloween Spooktacular Survival Camp October 31-November 5th this year.
