young people to experience at first hand the challenge of leadership. This
course is open to young men and women who are over 16 at the start and under 18

mixture of physical and mental
challenges that allow participants to experience leadership, team building, communication, and problem-solving skills.These are based on both indoor and outdoor activities including water
activities, orienteering, raft building and presentations. Rotary has
been running these courses for over 20 years and has helped over 1,000 young
adults to develop their personal skills as a leader. Rotary is proud of the
system of helping to develop the leaders of tomorrow and looks forward to
meeting and working with many more in the future. The course takes place at
