Our People
Our people are the difference.
A great programme is much more than a set of activities and a good timetable. It’s about people, quality of support and service, and the synergy of values right across our organisation.
Our People are committed to the wellbeing and growth of our clients, encouraging participants in a managed environment to risk their best. As experiential educators they are highly trained in interpersonal, and group management skills as well as the hard skills associated with outdoor adventure.
Higher Ground is made up of a group of people committed to striving for excellence in the provision of safe, innovative and purpose driven experiences, in an environment that values the physical, emotional and spiritual safety of each person.
