The Amazing Race-style obstacle course tested young people’s ability to move through a series of physical, mental and artistic hurdles, including a 15-minute art stop shop, bungee run, jungle climb, giant inflatable obstacle course, carnival games, and a yoga and meditation zone.

The course was designed to boost resilience and confidence with each hurdle linked to an essential life skill.
