The students were challenged both physically and mentally in a variety of outdoor sports and activities, including, kayaking, orienteering, sailing and raft building.
Nine time Coast to Coast winner, Steve Gurney was fantastic throughout sharing his experience and passion for adventure sports with the teams, assisting the TV crew and taking on roles alongside the OPC instructors.
