Preparing for Borneo

Packing for a 4-night hike through the jungle

In the last week of Term 1, the World Challenge Borneo students got ready for their big trip in September by taking part in a training day with the World Challenge leaders. They learned about many aspects of the trip, especially the 4-day hike through the tropical rainforests of Borneo. 

Pictured here, the 'Gibbons group' are trying to figure out how to pack all items from the orange mat inside the hiking bag with nothing allowed to dangle from the outside. The problem-solving activity really activated great teamwork, and the practical skills needed to survive 4 nights in the jungle.
