When NASA forms an astronaut team, they undertake leadership and team building in remote areas.

The Astronaut Leadership Experience (ALE) is based on the NASA programmes and is led by an astronaut.

ALE provides a challenging, fun and exciting blend of skill building and personal growth that focuses on responsibility for oneself, other team members, supporting the leader and care for the environment.

During the programme the explorers will take on a range of leadership roles:

• Designated Leadership: taking responsibility for the group and its goals


• Active Membership: supporting the designated leader and participating in group decision


• Collegiate Leadership: the team works together, supports each other and is proactive in achieving group goals


• Personal Leadership: explorers take care of themselves and show initiative

• Zip wire - Team works together to zoom across a 100ft deep ravine


• Ghyll scrambling - the challenge of making your way through waterfalls
  


• Rock climbing & Abseiling


• Via Ferrata - A high level (approx. 1000ft) challenge on rungs, wires & ladders just like spacewalking


• Constructing a bridge - over a gorge


• Plus daily teambuilding challenges!
