The Challenge
Fully catered with cabin accommodation. Designed for groups from Year 4 and beyond, The Challenge is exceptional for building teams, challenging thinking, enhancing communication skills and developing leadership capacity.
The Challenge program is divided into three main activity categories:
Introductory Activities
These give participants an indication of how the system works at Emu Gully. It also provides Emu Gully and group staff some vital insights into their group dynamics. Participants learn to think outside the square, listen to each other and identify strengths within their team. In some cases, a group’s performance in these activities may determine the selection of further activities. Our introductory activities may include, but are not limited to The Charge, No Man’s Land, Hoop, Minefields, Skippy, Blanket Volleyball, The Swinging Log, Commando Cable Crossing and Escape from Colditz.
Core Activities
Based on historical events and theatres of conflict including WW1, WW2 and Vietnam, these activities provide both context and purpose with the opportunity for exceptional outcomes. The focus is on experiencing and demonstrating the core character values of Courage, Mateship, Sacrifice and Perseverance. The core activities include the Western Front, Siege of Tobruk, Bridge over the River Kwai, Tunnel Rats of Vietnam, Hellfire Pass, The Kokoda Track and the Night Walk.
