There is much anecdotal evidence of the benefit of the outdoor experience; teachers speak of the huge improvement in relationships that often follows a trip, and delinquent students are sometimes offered an outdoor education program as part of a behavior management program. Hard evidence to show that outdoor education has a demonstrable long term effect on either behavior or educational achievement however is harder to identify; this may be because the variables involved are too complex to be separated.
