• Learn from the experience: Reflection allows participants to identify what went well, areas of improvement, and lessons they can carry forward to future challenges.
• Strengthen bonds within the group: When done in a group, reflection promotes connection, shared experiences, and mutual support among participants.

---

2. Structure of the Post-Activity Debrief

The debrief should be a safe space where participants can express their emotions, process their experiences, and gain insight into their personal growth. Here’s a structured approach to conducting a post-activity debrief and reflection session:

2.1 Setting the Stage: Creating a Safe and Supportive Environment

• Privacy and Comfort: Choose a comfortable and quiet space where participants can reflect without distractions. Ensure the environment feels safe, positive, and welcoming.
• Ground Rules: Set clear guidelines for respectful communication. Encourage participants to listen actively, speak from their own perspective, and respect others’ experiences.
• Openness: Emphasize that every feeling and experience is valid. Whether participants felt elated, scared, proud, or overwhelmed, it’s all part of their unique journey.

---

2.2 Guided Reflection Questions

These questions help participants reflect deeply on their emotions, thoughts, and experiences during the activity. Provide a variety of questions to guide the debrief based on the activity they participated in.

  • Break the activity down into smaller steps, allowing them to focus on each moment rather than the overwhelming whole. For instance:
    • “First, we’ll focus on getting you harnessed in safely. Then, we’ll walk you to the jump zone. After that, you’ll take a deep breath and make the jump.”
• Stay Present:
  • Encourage them to focus on the present moment instead of the “what-ifs” or fears of what might go wrong. Remind them that they only need to take it one step at a time.

3.1 Celebrate Achievements and Build Positive Associations

• Immediate Acknowledgment:
  • As soon as the activity is completed, offer immediate positive feedback. Whether it’s a high-five, a hug, or simply an enthusiastic “You did it!”, make the moment feel celebratory.

3.4 Continuous Risk Assessment

• Weather Monitoring: Regularly assess weather conditions before and during the activities. Extreme weather (e.g., high winds, lightning, rain) may require you to suspend or delay certain activities, such as skydiving or bungee jumping.
• Participant Health Monitoring: Regularly check in on participants’ well-being. If someone appears physically unwell or expresses concerns about their health, take appropriate action and remove them from the activity if necessary.

4. Emergency Response Plan

• Injury or Illness: If a participant is injured or falls ill, alert medical staff immediately. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the participant’s location and any relevant health information (e.g., allergies, pre-existing conditions).
• Evacuation Procedures: In case of a serious incident (e.g., equipment malfunction or natural disaster), follow the camp’s evacuation protocol. Guide participants to the safe assembly points, keeping them calm and informed.
• Incident Reporting: Document any incidents that occur during the activity, including participant injuries, equipment malfunctions, or any emergency protocols activated.
