Teacher, Queens Beach State School Camp

Our Action Challenge School Leadership Program has proved to be a popular component of many Schools curriculums. Permanent reservations are now occurring with many Schools as this Program has proved to be a vital element of all students education.

This Program is a life skills Program which introduces participants to responsible behaviour not only for themselves, but for each other, whilst on camp. The skills learnt by the students are then carried back into the School, where issues such as bullying are reduced.

With a permanent reservation annually, your School can take advantage of possessing the ability to change the culture within the entire School.  This Life Skills program that we conduct is a very effective learning process.

Our classroom is the wilderness; the tools we use to work with are specially designed ropes courses and problem solving activities. These activities, which are fully framed with pre and post discussions and debrief sessions, bring about changes in the thought processes, how students treat other people and learn to have a greater amount of respect for themselves.

This program is a wonderful experience for students to develop their leadership skills, build their self-esteem, and receive a whole new focus on life.

Action Challenge Mackay presents quality training and facilities, and meals of the highest standard. They also cater for any individual’s special dietary needs.
