The process begins by enrolling youth into a seven-day course which trains them in self-discipline, mental toughness, and critical thinking.
The course is designed to push the trainees to break through many of their personal obstacles and to rise up to their potential. It establishes a foundation of ethics, morals, and values in a conducive leadership environment, both during the course and post-graduation. Each trainee learns skills including but not limited to communication, how to effectively lead others, and how to provide first aid in emergencies.
The Spartan Challenge is not a disciplinary program, but rather a leadership course for the valiant to harness their inner strength, forge their character and lead others.
