“Tough but super educational, I have gained a lot of self confidence, discipline, perseverance and success!”
“A very educational Bootcamp where you can discover who you really are, what you can do, where you can grow and what you really want. You will do things you never imagined.”

“Besides the physical and mental challenges, which I really enjoyed, the bootcamp has given me thorough insights in who I am as a person, what I have to offer and what I look for in the things I do.”
"The bootcamp surprised me. So many people with different perspectives. It has made me more patient as a person, to not draw conclusions too quick. Instead, take a step back first and then determine a next step."
