with the guidance of certified facilitators.

Courses I & II are shared experiences among individuals
within a group setting. It is an exciting sequence
of outdoor initiatives that increases participants
self confidence, their ability to work cooperatively
with others, and enhances their understanding of members
of their group. Students are provided with an opportunity
to step out of their comfort zone and take controlled
risks which, in turn, intensifies their adventure
and experience on the course.
