When?: 29/03/09 at 10:00 AM Where?: Knox Park - Murwillumbah |
Cost: Free |
| About the Event: Program Overview: The Pinnacle Challenge program was originally set up as a youth suicide prevention program closely linked to the ADRA New Day Foundation Program . The five-part holistic program challenges participants through Adventure, Team Building, Motivation & Personal Development, Health & Well Being, and Links to other ADRA programs. Facilitators play an integral role in the Pinnacle Challenge program with its success attributed largely to their efforts. Adventure: Six adventure activities challenge participants both physically and mentally. 1. Step of Fear: A wobbly, five metre high, vertical ladder that participants climb and, upon reaching the top, pose no- handed for the team below. 2. High Wire: Suspended four metres above the ground, participants walk along a tight rope to where they then lay along it with arms outstretched like a soaring eagle. 3. Rock Climb: A seven-metre vertical climb including a two metre overhang section. Participants choose from three levels of difficulty. 4. Abseil: Participants bound down a seven-metre wall backwards controlling their own speed of descent. 5. Leap of Faith: Participants leap from a small platform seven metres above the ground to a trapeze bar three metres in front of them. They then hang upside down from the bar. Team Building: Together as a team, participants cheer and encourage one another as they attempt to conquer the challenges of the program. The rule of "no bagging/ put downs" virtually guarantees positive outcomes. Motivation & Personal Development: The Pinnacle Challenge program increases motivation and facilitates personal development in three ways: 1. Participants extend personal limits and challenge personal fears while participating in the Adventure activities. 2. Participants' negative attitudes towards others are challenged by the rule of "no bagging/ put downs", and by seeing the difference a positive attitude has on others. 3. Facilitators encouraging participants to reach toward their created potential present an inspiring motivational talk at the beginning of the program. |
