They interacted with the natural environment and reinvigorated themselves by engaging in a very different activity from their classroom experience. They participated in various enjoyable games such as Zip Line, Archery, Skywalk, and wall climbing. The learners pushed their limits and learned more about their own physical and emotional capabilities.
