Open Days
Cumulus offer outdoor learning open days. These take place throughout the year at a variety of locations around the UK. They are for directors, managers, and team leaders to experience a Cumulus event, see us in action and discover the real benefits that outdoor experiential learning can offer participants. These are entirely free. Clients can enjoy the day, take part, see sessions in action, look around prospective venues and of course ask lots of questions.
Open day timetables and content vary a little depending upon the location and time of year. A typical program looks like:
