Do you love adventure and the great outdoors? Are you ready to challenge yourself with exciting activities while developing valuable survival and teamwork skills? This hands-on course allows you to experience adventure through activities such as swimming, fishing, camp craft, kayaking, snorkelling, and expedition planning.

Beyond the thrill of outdoor activities, you will learn how to assess risks, build resilience, and make smart decisions in challenging environments.
