What are Charity Challenges?
OCF and Intrepid Challenges have teamed up to provide a range of fund raising adventures designed to take participants out of their comfort zones. They offer unique insights into Asian cultures allowing intimate connections with communities. As a team building exercise the challenges are second to none as they bring people together in an interdependent, testing and rewarding experience.
Since 2005 we have very successfully run three challenges where participants have raised significant amounts of money for OCF at the same time as enjoying an unforgettable learning and bonding experience.
An Intrepid challenge is an adventure like no other. It can be a life-changing experience and provides the ultimate opportunity for personal growth through the challenge of fundraising, and exposure to different cultures, beliefs, traditions and ideas.
Our challenges are physical trips and they test people's resources and are a superb opportunity for team work and meeting like-minded people.
How do the trips operate?
Intrepid Challenges are tailor-made trips with dedicated specialist staff running and supporting the events.
- These trips are not a race. We enjoy regular stops during the day. You ride at your own pace. Intrepid staff will support you.
- Staff are trained to motivate and inspire participants
- Safety and risk management are the number one priority
- On every challenge, Intrepid has a support crew, first aid trained leaders and support vehicles for luggage and weary legs.
- Feedback shows 98.5% of participants would travel with Intrepid Challenges again on another challenge and average satisfaction rating across all challenges is 4.95 out of 5
