Strengthening teams through adversity

A survival raid is a multidisciplinary competition designed to replicate extreme scenarios that test the endurance, navigation skills, and survival abilities of both teams and individual participants. This thrilling and challenging experience confronts participants with a series of physical and mental challenges in a controlled environment, fostering the development of practical skills while also bolstering team cohesion.

Teams will be divided, with each tasked to complete an orienteering course as swiftly as possible, surmounting the natural obstacles they encounter along the way. To progress, teams must locate concealed markers, each offering clues or assistance for subsequent challenges.

Challenges throughout the activity:

• THE TRIBE: each team will craft its own identity using paints, fabrics, and feathers.
• THE HANGING PATH: participants must navigate a suspended path, overcoming ground-level hazards through various balancing and dexterity techniques.
• JAVELIN THROW: knocking down all targets becomes an increasingly difficult task in this test of aim and precision.
• LOST IN THE FOREST: strategy is paramount in this relay orienteering race, determining the victorious team.
• SHELTER: teams must utilize provided materials and their resourcefulness to construct the largest and most resilient shelter possible.

Only through the combined power of your ingenuity and teamwork will you triumph over the challenges and evade capture.

At the conclusion of the activity, an exhilarating closing ceremony will be held, during which a variety of awards will be presented to acknowledge the talents, skills, and efforts displayed by the participants throughout the event.
