FAQ’s

Fitness is not the focus of a Holdfast Challenge. The emphasis is on mindset, teamwork, and shared effort.

Participants should bring:

A towel
-
Light gym clothing or a swimming costume
-
Swim shorts or suitable sports shorts

What does the challenge involve?
Participants are placed into small teams on arrival and guided through a structured series of challenges on land and in the water.
Each activity is designed to encourage communication, leadership, and problem-solving, while gently testing individuals and teams both mentally and physically. Regular breaks are built in between activities, allowing time for hydration, reflection, and team discussion.
The experience is inclusive, supportive, and carefully facilitated throughout.

The duration depends on group size:
-
Groups of up to 35 participants should allow approximately 4 to 5 hours
-
Larger groups should allow up to 6 hours
