Athena Awaits! (Stronger Group)

Dear Stronger participants,

I would like to welcome you on behalf of Athena, the Goddess of War, Heroic endeavour and Wisdom. The stronger Olympia Arena is ready and awaiting your arrival.

Your journey has been mapped out as follows:

Day 1 : Journey to Pahang
Day 2 : Orang Asli Experience & Jungle Survival
Day 3 : Trekking Expedition
Day 4 : 4x4 & Waterfall
Day 5 : Homeward Bound

Your endurance, mental attitude, team spirit and wisdom shall be tested upon your arrival. You will relinquish to all comforts and leave as one with the wilderness. You will build suitable shelters for you and your team. You will acquire and conserve water and food which is scarce.

Team Challenges

You and your team will challenge other teams in shelter building, fire making, hunting and hiking competitions.

Individual Challenges

Only the top 20 most fit and enduring participants will be selected to take part in the ultimate summit challenge.

Be Ready Be Prepared

The first rule of jungle survival is preparation. It is essential that you bring the following equipment without which, you may be disqualified from the competitions.

For trekking:
(1) Shoes and socks
(2) Long pants
(3) Small haversack

For Night Activity:
(1) Torch light and spare batteries
(2) Insect repellent (optional)
(3) Sleeping bag to keep warm at night (optional)


By order,
Commander in chief of the Athenian Army

NB
Please note that the schedule has slightly changed from the original agenda posted above.
The Athenian Army will still travel into the jungle and set up their own camp. During the first day they will be shown and learn essential jungle survival skills such as dart making for blow pipes and fire lighting... The students will then be given the chance to truly hone their survival skills the following day by using the new acquired skills learnt independently within their groups.
