Eddy Out Program –The name ‘Eddy Out’ refers to paddling a river. We often pull into the calm water on the side for a breather. Once there the idea of eddying out back into the flow can be very daunting. This analogy very easily relates to life. ‘Eddy Out’; take on a new challenge, lead a team, be part of a team, complete a journey you may not think possible. The program will provide many opportunities to step out within a supportive environment learning skills that can last a lifetime, and let’s not forget the incredible wild places that we will visit on that journey.

Every applicant will be considered, but if there is a selection needed then the Trust will err towards those who, for whatever reason, may have missed a similar opportunity in the past, or who may not have access to such an opportunity due to financial reasons.
