Risk-Taking serves as a catalyst for change. There is a feeling of exhilaration when the challenge is met. Both the challenge and the risk-taking serve as metaphors for learning. Because of rigorous safety policies and procedures, the actual risk is very low, although perceived risk is often high. The Role of Instructors is, above all else, to guarantee the safety of participants through teaching appropriate skills and providing constant supervision.
Instructors thoroughly introduce each activity.
Participation in each activity is totally voluntary. Whether it is getting the team over the wall or orienteering from point A to point B, the problems are stimulating and challenging. They require cooperation, communication, feedback, and interpersonal problem-solving.
