The Challenge is an exciting summer programme which connects young people from different backgrounds across London, builds confidence and inspires them to improve their local communities.
So what's the deal?
Teams of 16 year olds take on a 3 week programme that includes physical, creative and social action challenges.
The first 2 weeks are residential, with all meals and accommodation provided. During the 1st week, you go on intense outdoor challenges like hiking, abseiling, and canoeing.
Next, you spend a week on a residential, gaining skills in something you are passionate about, be it music, sport, film-making or enterprise!
Last thing, you get to design and run your own community project.
