What is experiential learning?
Experiential learning is the process of learning through reflection on doing ('doing' happens first).
List the five key skills used to build group relationships.
1. Communication, 2. Active listening, 3. Assertiveness, 4. Negotiation, 5. Conflict resolution
Name the FIVE components of weather.
Temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and air pressure.

What is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?
It is a theory of human motivation arranged in a pyramid, suggesting that basic physiological and safety needs must be met before individuals can achieve higher-level growth or peak performance.
Why is experiential learning effective?
It is effective because:
1) Active participation leads to better retention/memory of skills. 2) Skills (like navigation) are learned in 'real-world' stakes, providing context and making knowledge transferable.
Give an example of how conflict resolution might be used on camp.
During a camp, two students might argue because one person is not helping set up the tents while the other students are doing all the work. Conflict resolution could be used by calmly discussing the problem as a group, allowing everyone to explain their perspective, and working together to find a fair solution. For example, the group may decide to divide jobs evenly so each person has a clear responsibility. This helps maintain teamwork, respect, and a positive camp environment.
How does air pressure relate to weather changes?
Air pressure is closely linked to weather changes because it affects how air moves in the atmosphere.
For example, if air pressure begins to drop quickly, it can be a sign that a storm or bad weather is approaching. If the pressure rises, it often means the weather is becoming more settled and sunny.

Define physiological needs and give one outdoor example.
Basic biological requirements for survival - food, water & shelter. Example: Ensuring every participant has adequate water and high-energy snacks during a trek.
Describe a situation where flexibility would be needed in an outdoor environment.
Example:
An unexpected trail closure due to a fallen tree, meaning the group must alter their planned route and potentially adjust their time-management for the day.
Which skills is being demonstrated in this scenario?
Student A tells the group they are feeling a hot spot on their heel and need to stop to tape it.
Assertiveness
Describe how wind can impact an outdoor activity. Is it just about feeling colder?
It is not just about feeling colder. Wind creates physical hazards (like branches falling) and increases the difficulty of tasks like pitching a tent or cooking.

Define safety needs and explain why they are important on camp.
Safety needs include protection from the elements, security, and order. On camp, they are critical for reducing anxiety and perceived risk, allowing students to focus on learning rather than fear
Explain how decision-making skills are important during a hiking expedition.
Decision-making is crucial for navigating safely, managing risks (like weather changes or injuries), and ensuring the group's needs are met efficiently without panic.
Which skills is being demonstrated in this scenario?
A leader repeats back what a stressed student just said to ensure they fully understand the problem.
Active listening
What type of clouds indicate bad weather is approaching?
Altostratus or Cumulonimbus clouds indicate approaching cold fronts/storms.

How does time-management impact safety and success on a camp?
Poor timing (e.g., leaving late) leads to fatigue and navigating in the dark, which exponentially increases the risk of injury and group conflict. Good time management ensures efficient use of daylight hours.
Choose ONE team building skill. Explain how they improve group performance and give an example of one being used on camp.
Example: Assertiveness helps individuals state their needs ('I need a break') before becoming exhausted. Negotiation allows the group to find middle ground on pace or route. Conflict resolution example: Leaders mediate disputes over camp chores to sustain morale.
Why is understanding local seasonal weather patterns just as important as having good group communication skills?
Seasonal patterns dictate gear needs for safety, and local knowledge helps avoid peak dangers like bushfires or floods. However, technical weather data is useless without the group's ability to communicate. Group communication ensures flexibility if weather patterns fail, allowing the group to make safe, collective decisions together.
