Guiding Principles
Vision
ECC’s Vision of Establishing an Immersive Outdoor Rec Program in Fujairah
Connected knowledge is one of the greatest strengths of outdoor education: knowledge that is logically linked to other areas of information that can be related back to a participant’s everyday life. Achieving this helps participants create long-lasting, memorable experiences as well as meaningful relationships. Learning about our relationships with the trails, the local history, and what we are able to find out about ourselves is what makes such collective experiences so transformative.
Mission
Our responsibility as guides is to nurture the love of the outdoors. Our aspirations include delivering hard and soft skills in the realm of outdoor adventure activities, bringing a focus on nurturing individual self-confidence through challenging participant’s limits and teaching environmental knowledge and ethics in order to continue preserving outdoor spaces. We aim to do this through a variety of programs, whether half-day trail outings or multi-day immersive experiences, which include:
- Recreational outings
- Soft/hard skill workshops
- Ecological programs
- Leadership/team building workshops
- Cultural and historical educational sessions
- Integrated instructional programs
- Wellness development
