Outbound Training

An Outbound Training session was organized for our batch by our PPD Miss and was done at the Naval and Maritime Academy in Trincomalee. Our 2nd Year Batch and our junior Batch had spent two days in there and I unfortunately missed to go to this. If I would have gone there, I would have experienced the following amazing things.

DAY 1

My Batch mates have reached the camp around 10 a.m and after welcoming them, they were offered a delicious Lunch. They were divided into Alpha, Bravo, Delta and Charlie which are group names. Then they were given leadership based group activities at the Beach.



First one was to go through a small rectangle made with ropes. But is they touch the rope then they are considered to have died and any one holding you at that time also dies. In those activities they had to have someone as a leader to guide the team to be effective. 

The next activity was to roll a small ball through set of pipes without dropping it to the ground. They also could not touch the next person's pipe before he/she(the person) got the ball. It seems as it was not as easy as it sounds. 

As the next activity, they had to fill water to a cylinder having holes everywhere and the catch was that they could only use body parts to cover the cylinder. Even filling it with water had to be done using hands and mouth. 



The next activity was to carry out some wooden logs which were given not using hands but using our tummies! Next task was to throw a volleyball over the net so that one person was there on the other side to catch it and four people had to throw the ball to him using a rug. 

The last activity was a tug of war. Everyone seems to have had so much fun during this activity.
After all the activities and freshening up in our hostels, we had a talent show and a campfire at the night. It was truly a beautiful night and we sang, danced and enjoyed a lot!

DAY 2

On the next day morning after having a delicious breakfast, they were taken to the forest for a compass march and taught on how to use a compass to find your way if you get lost in the forest. After quite a long walk in the forest, they finally came to the beach.
Next they went to see the Maritime and Naval Museum where some ruins and leftovers from the war was seen. All my Friends also got the opportunity to witness some of the Technologies that the Navy were using.
