The new vision concerning this type of education defines it below psychosocial bearing, axiological but also practical, as a way of unrolling. Our study outlines elements that atomize the whole idea which involves principally ethic values as an expression of responsibility, respect, honesty, freedom, self-control and courage in the interpersonal youth relations. This analysis adopts the point of view according to which education involves the promotion of personal and social benefits of various kinds and in particular the idea of personal well being. It is argued that the promotion of this idea provides the most appropriate focus for the investigation of educational values of outdoor adventure activities. There is a new valence of cognition and agreement in the authentic relation man-nature like the new values of health correlates more efficiently a physical and psychic valence of outdoor education. Finally, outdoor education and free spirit education atomize postmodernly the potentate find again of harmonious life with nature and society.
