It was on the next day that the student starts their adrenaline rush. They firstly went for Low Ropes Course that test their strength, agility, flexibility, and invite the students to learn to overcome emotional issues such as fear of falling and losing control. This activity was designed with a series of ropes that strung between trees, 12 to 18 inches above the ground and requires the students to maintain their balance while walking on the rope. Obstacle Course was their second activity where the students were challenged with physical obstacles while being timed. This involves running, climbing, jumping, crawling which aim to test speed, endurance and working together.

The Station Ropes Course then makes use of variety of hardware materials to explore that fundamentals of risk management and problem solving. "This course requires us to think critically and carefully plan our steps. I guess this is how the real world looks like" said Nur Afiqah Nabilah.
