THE BASICS In any package, on arrival for any programs, the participants will be briefed on the entire program followed by ice breaking activities. At the beginning and end of each activities there will be briefing and de-briefing. The list of activities below are not complete and will be added on from time to time INTRODUCTION The basic concept utilized is experiential learning or learning through experience. Participants take part in various activities which initiate and enhance skills such as leadership, teamwork, and communication. These activities are facilitated by Instructors who ensure activities are adapted to fit the participants' capabilities to maximize learning. As the experiences are more vivid than normal classroom lectures, participants have a higher retention and transfer of the lessons learnt to working and personal life. This is a key strength of all activities. TEAM PROBLEMS SOLVING A wide variety of team dynamics activities are designed to encourage initiative, team work, planning, communication and leadership. Each activity involves varying degrees of both group and personal challenges. Orienteering Participants are divided into smaller groups, each consisting of a maximum of 3 persons. They will then be given a map of the venue ground. The idea is to look for as many markers as possible within a time limit. Aims: To let participants do planning, teach co-operation among others, time management and self-reliance. Ice Breaking This is usually done when participants first arrive in a variety of short programs. Aims: Generate group spirit, communication and increase group interaction and sharing of ideas. Team Dynamics Problems and scenarios are presented to the group as a challenge to be overcome. The wide variety of tasks all require creative thinking, leadership and close team work. eg corporate games Aims: Encourage planning and leadership while working towards a single goal by a creative and fully involved team. Generate discussion on improvements in the working of the group and allow a progressively better performance. Raft Building Plan, construct, launch and race a raft in the river along rivers, lagoon or lake. Aims: Planning, creative thinking, team work and leadership are all inherent aspects of this activity that can be organised as a compeition between groups. 6 to 18 feet Spider Net Wall Group challenge to climb over a spider net wall. Safety ropes will be hooked on the participants. Aims: Teamwork, confidence and creative thinking. Night Jungle Walk A rope or line is set-up in the jungle which is tied from one tree to another. The participants have to walk alone separated by a few minutes apart without a torchlight from the first point of the line to the end. Aims: Increase communication level, teamwork, conquer fear and leadership.

CAMPING

It is done as part of any expedition. Participants will be given equipment such as "parang", tent sheet (tarpauline), karrimat, waterbottle, cooking pot, rucksack to name a few. They have to share the duties of making the shelter, cooking, collecting firewood and guard duty. Selecting a good campsite is an essential part of the exercise here. Participants are not allowed to erect any campsite in a farm, near a river, on a hill slope and of course on a tree. A few aspects that should be looked into are such matters as the area, availability of water, threat from the strong wind and lightning, and fallen dead branches. Aims: to provide an opportunity to become more self-reliant, efficient and proficient in wilderness living. to stimulate group's interaction by sharing tasks to present situations which test sparticipants initiative, humour, sense of responsibilty and willingness to perform routine work even when tired to instill attitude that one can live with enjoyment and comfort in a natural environment without harming it. Solo At certain times, participants will need some period of time to think about themselves and their commitment to the group and their level of understanding of each member in the group. The solo is introduced to give them time to think about this. There are 3 types of Solo, namely, Mini Solo or Time Out Typically not planned and can happen anytime when the group needs a mental / physical break. It can be as short as few minutes only. It provides a chance of short period of time for participants to stop and think (to reflect) about their actions and attitude toward the program. Short or Long Solo This is an overnight solo or even longer. The added challenge of spending a night or nights camping alone adds many new dimensions to the solo experience. They are faced with being alone, having to build their own shelter and to cope with fears. A task will be given to them while performing this activity. Namely: write a letter to themselves which will be mailed to them in 3 months time list out the area of improvement and one noticeable strength for each group member make gifts for each other asked not to talk while being picked up from solo until they have reached base camp. After Solo, we will give a chance to the participants to talk about: what they think and feel about the experience, what is the purpose, are there any benefit, general feedback.

ROPE CONFIDENCE COURSE

ROCK CLIMBING and ABSEILING (RAPELLING)

There are mainly two areas of operations for this activity. The artificial rock wall which is perfect for beginners. The purpose of the rock wall is to provide a safe, educational and fun venue for climbing and abseiling (rappelling).Participants have to climb the rock wall safely using ropes, harnesses, belay device (ATC), Karabiners for protection. Descending (abseiling) from the top of the wall needs courage and a sense of adventure. Individuals have to control their own rate of descent using the device (figure of eight) and suspended by a safety line controlled by the instructor. Aims: increase self-confidence generate trust decision making involving risk and courage break down previously held physical and mental limitations to help group understand the importance of mutual support to an individual in overcoming problems and reaching goals. Abseiling For abseiling, we are using the rock wall and the high ropes circuit. On the rock wall, usually an exercise called Self-Programmed Abseil is often used with management courses and presented as a project to be managed with little help from Instructors except for technical and safety advice. Aims: careful interpretation of written instruction to successfully complete a task management of multi-faceted project involving perceived risk co-operation / team building planning trust confidence in oneself and others determination to succeed communication skills leadership and of course... to have fun

WHITE WATER RAFTING AND WHITE WATER TUBE RAFTING

Rafting is usually used in one of the following ways: • as part of the final expedition on Challenge Course • as part of a one day jungle walk / one day raft combination on shorter course • as a separate one day activity itself • as a part of a program activity Instead of a rubber boat, we used inner tube or inner and bamboo lashed together to form a raft that will be used on t river, lagoon or lake.. This practice is very beneficial for the participants as they will work together to build a strong and practicable raft for their own group. Everyone will be involved in this process which at the same time, will enhance the level of teamwork, brainstorming, decision making and leadership, to name a few. Rafting is a good chance indeed for individuals to practice skills in sometimes stressful situations. It will also activate the initiatives of the group in deciding which way to go while tackling a rapids. Raft Building Exercise This exercise is done on the rive or lake site. Group will be given certain amount of time to discuss, plan and finally build their raft. The objective is to build a raft by using the inner tubes and bamboo or blue plastic barrels and wooden spars, that can accommodate all the members in the group and to cross the river safely. Aims: Management of multi-faceted project planning presentation skills budgeting creativity Management of human resources, equipment, technical skills allocation, finances and time
