Abstract

In recent years, outdoor/adventure education programs have been practiced by several civilian organizations. Outward Bound School (OBS） and Project Adventure Japan (PAJ) are two representatives among those organizations. While OBS places much emphasis on risk-taking adventure activities in natural environment, PAJ regards adventure and challenge as important not only in literary meaning but also in psychological one especially for the young. As PAJ programs are not limited to outdoor settings, they are practiced in indoors, gymnasiums or classrooms, for example. In this article, taking programs and activities of ABC Outdoor Education Center (ABC) as a case, idea, characteristics, and some issues of outdoor/adventure education programs practiced by civilian organizations will be examined.
