As a second-year student training to be a guide at Warriors Academy, I can confidently say that this program goes beyond any typical gap year experience. It’s a journey of personal growth, adventure, and challenge, where each day pushes you to your limits, both physically and mentally.

What sets Warriors Academy apart is its holistic approach to development. It’s not just about the physical adventures like hiking, rock climbing, and survival skills, but also about building leadership, resilience, and teamwork. The training to become a guide is particularly intense, but it's incredibly rewarding. We had the opportunity to take charge of groups, plan expeditions, and make real-time decisions in high-pressure situations, all while having the support of experienced mentors.

The sense of community at Warriors is another highlight. You bond deeply with fellow adventurers, sharing in triumphs and setbacks, which creates lifelong friendships. There's a powerful sense of camaraderie, which is essential when you’re facing extreme challenges together.

If you’re looking for a program that will challenge you, shape your character, and equip you with real-world skills, I highly recommend Warriors Academy. Whether you're a first-timer or a second-year like me, every step of the journey is transformative.
