A group of young adults, 15-18 years, recently completed a 12-day epic journey into the great Aussie wilderness. The transition into adulthood can be exciting but also confusing and challenging. Navigator gives young adults the opportunity to rediscover who they are and where they might be heading in life.
While the course was somewhat challenging, participants learnt a lot about leadership, teamwork, communication and problem solving. Some participants found these skills to be particularly useful as they plan to step into leadership roles in their future careers.
Myalls Fawcett, aged 17, summed up the course in one sentence:
It was hard to want to quit…it was easy enough to push on as a team
Group cohesion was an important contributor to overall success. The participants felt as though they achieved as a group but more importantly they felt as though they had succeeded personally.
