RAFI offers kayak program
THE Kool Adventure Camp (KAC) of Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. is offering a kayak program to develop and enhance leadership skills among corporate professionals and youth groups.
“This is a leadership development program using kayak as a tool,” said Anthony Terence Ocampo, KAC deputy director for Professional Programs, said.
The program will last for three to four days, wherein participants will be navigating and paddling to the sites covered by the route, including the islands of Olango, Pandanon, Caohagan, Banakon and other islands between Cebu and Bohol.
The program will test the endurance, patience, teamwork, and communication and planning skills of the participants, as well as how they respond to changes in the environment.
The 52 tandem kayaks donated by Outward Bound Singapore will be utilized in the program scheduled during the second or third quarter of the year to avoid bad weather conditions such as typhoons and monsoons.
Program facilitators Ocampo and Sheerene Abrea are both certified with Kayak Coach Level 1 by the Singapore Canoe Federation.
To ensure the safety of the participants, KAC facilitators will conduct risk assessment and management system before every expedition.
