In the Outdoor Phase, the students head to the great outdoors where they can practice the newly acquired life skills, especially teamwork and problem solving. Their personal limits are tested and individual awareness is encouraged, while learning to abseil, kayak, rock climb and hike, amongst a host of other challenging activities. After this phase, students are allowed to see visitors for the first time since the start of the course. By this time, they are all fit, highly motivated and their self confidence is obvious.
