Quantum Leap
is our Training division that was established in the
year 2000. Quantum Leap has now positioned itself
as a Resource Management and Development center with
a special focus on Experiential Learning through Outbound
Activities.
Quantum Leap is today one of the most preferred Outbound
Training Teams in the country. We have worked extensively
with students of Vasant Valley, Scindia, Modern Barakhamba,
Mayo, NIIT and Wigan & Leigh College. The University
Grants Commission Selected our camps to give Outdoor
Training to more than 3,000 college Students.

| Personality Development Programs
|
| |
| The outdoors provides
an extremely powerful medium for training students in
new skills or helping them to improve old ones, largely
because outdoor learning is experiential in nature.
Experiential learning has evolved to provide effective
means for people to continue to learn and develop throughout
life. We all learn through experience:by
burning ourselves we learn to avoid heated objects,
by testing our parents' patience we learn about the
acceptable standards of behavior and the consequences
of transgressing. Some things simply cannot be learnt
from books or lectures. Examples range from riding a
bicycle to making friends. So experiential learning
is a natural and constant life process on which all-developmental
training, particularly PDOP aims to capitalize.
|
We at Quantum Leap
also adhere to five basic principles
during this cycle to learning -
1. The cycle is continuously recurring
2. The objectives we set ourselves govern the direction
of our learning
3. We all have personal preferences
4. We learn best when personally involved in the learning
experience
5. Knowledge, to be truly meaningful needs to be discovered
by the individual
In our program, students are encouraged
to experiment, try new behaviors and draw their own
conclusions. Theories appropriate to the situation
are then presented to them to help them develop frameworks
to fit their own unique requirements and environments.
.
"Learning through experience" is
what we believe in, and so we present the participants
exclusively with concrete tasks in the open, which
can be accomplished only by using head, hand, and
heart.
We provide an encouraging physical
and psychological security framework for these experiences,
as well as theoretical and practical aids.
A typical two or three day workshop
program comprises a combination of:
· Short "ice-breakers"
where participants work in pairs or a whole group;
· 1 to 2 hour tasks where
groups work in parallel or in collaboration;
· Outdoor tasks which may
be on land or in water (e.g. rock climbing, rafting,
kayaking, trekking, camping, rappelling);
· "Low-ropes" as well as some
"high-ropes" course elements (the latter are tasks
that take place approximately 30ft above the ground);
Each task is followed by a debriefing
session where the experience is reviewed, analyzed,
and transfer objectives developed.
We custom design all tasks to meet
the Schools' needs and ensure that they are not just
challenging, but also safe, fun and educational.
The Program will focus on the following
:
Dreaming of success
Thinking BIG
Having belief
Going first class
Thinking like a leader
Destroying Fear
Taking action

| Benefits
for Students |
Since
the objective of this program is to focus on Teamwork
and Interpersonal Skills Management, the program would
provide ample opportunity for the participants to understand
its importance and develop better relationships. It
helps the students appreciate the changes they will
encounter later in life.
The program will also provide an insight to behavior
patterns of the self in different situations, will help
in overcoming areas of concern or weaknesses and provide
a platform for all-round development of the personality.
It is commonly believed that OUTBOUND
programs are highly physical and demanding. While some
programs are, if this medium is as powerful as we believe
it to be, it should be as universally accessible as
possible. Therefore the roles and opportunities are
designed for the participant who may have physical limitations
of weight etc or a weak disposition or just afraid of
heights.
Our belief is that these conditions
after all do not usually prevent the participant from
performing in their work place, so should not on the
program. |

| Safety |
Safety
has been the overriding concern in all the practical
exercises. This is particularly true in the outdoor,
where the potential for danger is often higher. Even
when the tasks are relatively innocuous, there is always
some risk. People can do or attempt to do strange things
under the pressure of an outdoor learning event.
Participants, therefore find some of our safety guidelines
pedantic or petty. We make no apologies towards it,
rather we would point to our successful safety record.
In the final analysis, the OUTBOUND is a medium for
Personality Development, not for generating danger,
fear or excitement.

Following
please find a brief description of activities for the
program.
ROPES COURSES
Ropes Courses are today forming an integral part to
any outdoor training programs. Initialy Ropes Courses
formed a part of an Obstacle course used in the paramilitary
forces for training. Today Ropes Courses are much more
technical and involve a completely separate expertise.

Burma
Bridge :-
A Burma Bridge is a simple rope bridge over a stream
or an obstacle which was extensively used by Japanese
army when they invaded India through Burma. Some bridges
are more than 100 mtrs long and are constructed with
ropes made of bark of trees and its branches. Many Himalayan
states of India like Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh
and J & K still use such bridges across many rivers
and streams.
Parallel Ropes
& Swings
Parallel Ropes is just another version of a Burma Bridge
which is much faster to construct but at the same time
not as stable. Listen to the safety instructions carefully
before attempting the Parellal ropes and Swings
Fidget Ladder
This ladder is not as easy as it looks. A favorite with
outdoor training programs, the Fidget Ladder is an interesting
way to make a ladder using ropes and bamboo. All you
have to do is cross over.
The Flying Fox / Zip Wire:
This exciting high rope course requires some guts and
a feel for heights. Climb on to the Machaan hook into
your harness, clip on to the pulley and jump. Simple
!!!
A Zip wire is a frequently used exercise
to teach people how to be daring and take that extra
step in life.
Jumar Climbing
Jumars are frequently used tools on mountaineering expeditions.
This unique contraption is used to scale over hangs
and steep inclines aided by one way friction control.
Use these Jumars to climb the hanging rope.
GROUP GAMES
Blindfold Rope Square
A simple team game where blindfolded participants make
geometrical shapes out of ropes. The exercise is ideal
for team dynamics and planing.
The Log Walk
Participants are required to stand on two logs with
one foot on each. A minimum of six participants are
required for this exercise. Aim is to coordinate your
movements with the rest of the group and walk with lifting
the logs together.
Hug your Tree
This experience in nature involves blindfolded participants.
They are taken to a tree and told to know the tree by
hugging the tree and talking to it. After a while they
are led away and are told to identify the tree without
the blind fold. Once they find the tree then we tell
them all we know about the tree.
Trust Fall
The trust fall is a powerful exercise which forces the
participant to trust in his team. The participant stands
on a high platform and falls blindfolded into the waiting
arms of his teams. Many people have been known to back
out of this exercise.
