Introduction:
Since 1989, we have partnered with thousands of families, teams, individuals and corporates resulting in extraordinary memories... Our focus continues to be on High quality life changing experiences underscored by our vast qualifications and experience. Our concentrated approach and attention to the overall immersive, authentic experience, results in a culture of success.
Given the current disconnection faced by many, we have decided to expand on our current offerings by presenting solutions with recreational activity and of course the … Camp FIRE (the classroom). This raw, uncomplicated setting provides the perfect conduit for individual and team growth. It becomes a classroom where each participant is valued, respected, and can speak confidently and openly around the community fire.
Our qualifications, expertise and vast experiences provide you with access to Ex Physiologists, Nutritionists, Counsellors, Coaches underpinned by the philosophy of the Kokoda Track history and its learnings.
With a major focus of staying in the present these camps teach you to set goals that you can achieve now..
Our small group size allows for concentrated, guided development to occur.
‘ Plateaus will appear, and rather than get impatient or frustrated, you use these times to adapt to that level, master it and go on to discover levels beyond what you thought were limits. To force or try to make yourself push past the plateau will prove to be futile, counterproductive and discouraging. Plateaus are simply one more natural stop on the journey, a time to refuel your emotional, spiritual, mental tanks, enjoy the moment, accrue the confidence from mastering that leve,l and then advance not when you think you should, but when the time is right. Trust that when you go slower, you often arrive sooner.”
Aidan Grimes 2020
‘Refuse to offer excuses when you experience slumps, choking, and blocks, or a have a mental meltdown. Expect fluctuations and listen to their song. In a safe environment (team and inner self) you will continue on the road to mental toughness. Remember that excuses ARE regressions, failures, mistakes. They allow the mind to "check out", not care and justify failure and write it off as useless when, indeed, it is our guru, teacher, mentor. . . how we learn all that we know. Embrace and accept failure -- this builds mental toughness.’
Wayne Shaw, Camp 3, 2020.
