The Big Smoke 24
Tickets
Today's society has conditioned us to be comfortable. With exposure to physically demanding situations not needed to survive in the modern world.
This environment has created a low tolerance to discomfort. When something comes along that tests you, how do you respond? Often we aren't prepared and experience considerable stress.
The Big Smoke 24 hour is a demanding experience that will push you to your limits. On your journey within, you'll learn your mental habits, build your resilience, and raise the bar on what you are able to deal with in the future.
You will be exposed to physically and mentally draining activities throughout the Perth metropolitan area. This coupled with leadership activities, self reflection exercises, team challenges and fatigue will grow you into a stronger version of yourself.
