.. About Us Circle of Life Rediscovery is a Community Interest Company that runs camps and programmes for young people in the U.K.  C.L.R aims to foster individual development for both the learner and facilitators whilst inspiring a broader sense of connection between the human and non-human worlds. Click here if you would like to be informed of our future events We go beyond the National Curriculum aims of promoting ‘pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development’, working also towards an eco-literate society. We follow a vibrant programme of activities that are relevant to the needs and imagination of young people today. We help young people engage with the natural world improving their understanding, skills and values; opening up possibilities for things to be different. We are also an Award Provider of the John Muir Awards, nationally recognised conservation awards. Our philosophy is grounded in teaching the cyclic nature of life, and that as humans we inevitably must pass through initiations in order to reach full adulthood. We honour diversity and difference, and emphasise life rather than academic achievement. At the core of our philosophy is the reminder that it is essential for us to find a way through life that allows us to discern what truly serves us and allows us to live in harmony and balance with the rest of the world.  The programme activities encourage genuine communication and teach skills to negotiate diversity in a healthy respectful way. The programme activities are designed to increase self-esteem and self-expression in a supportive and fun atmosphere.  REDISCOVERY INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION (RIF) AFFILIATION Circle of Life Rediscovery is affiliated with Rediscovery International. Rediscovery was established in the Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada in 1978; there are over 40 Rediscovery programs around the world today. Rediscovery is a broad network of affiliated programs, each community-based, independently administered and funded, and uniquely suited to the local bio-region. All Rediscovery programs meet established health and safety standards and none discriminate on the basis of race, sex, creed or nationality. Rediscovery International Foundation (RIF) was established in 1985 to support the needs of the growing family of camps.
