Outbound Training Program at Park Woods Forest Retreat, Shoghi.

Lunch at the Retreat.

After lunch, experience rope knot activities, rock climbing and rappelling on a natural rock face with instructor and safety equipment.
Test of mental and physical strength. To fight one’s fears and build self-confidence during crisis situations. To know the risk taking ability (as one can easily avoid by backing out with excuses), judge one’s presence of mind, as one is standing on the edge of the cliff with trembling legs, and carry out the instructions as demonstrated. To see how calm and composed one is in a frightening situation. To have faith in the instructor (leader) and the equipment and trust that the activity is doable. To learn about one’s grasping power as to how quickly he understands a simple technique for a seemingly difficult task. To experience the sense of triumph, achievement, self esteem and thrill one gets after landing successfully.

An excellent personal development activity done again as teams.

As the sun moves towards the horizon enjoy hot tea and cookies while watching the sunset.

After sunset and evening tea take a 2-3 hour night trek to an unknown place through a forest.
With flashlights explore the paths through the forested undergrowth. It is thrilling to experience the fear of unknown. The participants are not allowed to talk and when necessary only in whispers. The members share their thoughts when they reach the clearing on the hilltop and sit to enjoy the starry lights of distant villages and small towns. To make it a team activity and bring to fore how members can support each other to reach a common goal, clues and blindfolds can also be used.

Back at the Retreat a crackling bonfire and a delicious barbecue would await the group. 
Sitting around, the group discusses the day’s activities and the changes each individual experienced and new things one learnt about themselves, about others and how perhaps they could have acted differently in a given situation for better results. A time for sharing feelings and introspection.

As bonhomie spreads, soft songs under the star spangled sky make it a perfect end to the day.

Dance and recorded music.

The group is divided in teams and sent after a gap of 15 mins each with the same maps and each team has to try and reach in minimum time. The objective is to realize and judge ones ability to get out of unknown situations. How one assumes a role in the team in difficult situations - follower, leader, troublemaker, strategy maker etc.
