Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis is to provide adventure education for kayak activities in Helsinki and the Espoo Archipelagos, as well as an innovative educational strategy for guides that encourages learning and growth via adventure excursion experiences. Laguuni Oy was the commissioner of a case study. This was developed after researching passionate kayakers with different levels of paddling expertise.
Kayaking has not been subjected to Adventure Education concepts before at Laguuni Oy. The research makes it clear how important it is to incorporate adventure education concepts into leisure activities. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology was used with the goal of gathering the most reliable data for the development of kayak excursions with an emphasis on adventure education.
The data gathered was very beneficial in developing the adventure education topic for the kayak excursion. It placed a strong focus on the chance for self-improvement and learning by doing, which would improve customers' confidence in the kayaking field and personal life and give them a clearer awareness of their strengths and weaknesses. The results con-firmed the wide range of learning outcomes offered by the kayak excursion, which archive the excursion and customers' goals.
