Doulos Team Builders and Freedom Base Camp

FREEDOM BASE, a CENTRE FOR CHALLENGE
by DOULOS: Leaders in Service

FREEDOM BASE is a place…..ten acres on the southern edge of Daystar University’s Athi River Campus, 40 KM from Nairobi. The setting is natural, tucked into the Lukenya Hills, home to Zebra, gazelles & other wildlife. This site of a former detention camp for Mau Mau prisoners provides the possibility for men and women of all ages

and status to discover greater freedom in life…. Emotionally, Spiritually, Cognitively, and Professionally. FREEDOM BASE is an experience…In attempting to meet various challenges, groups at freedom base experience new understanding of communication, cooperation, trust, self-reliance, team work, respect, judgment/decision making, inter/intra personal relationships, strengths, weakness, support and environmental care. FREEDOM BASE is an opportunity…. A chance to push yourself a little further than the usual, a time to explore your strengths and weakness in a group of people want to help you, a time to build stronger bonds with your friends, a time to sit and share a beautiful sunset or the warmth of a camp fire and talk about thing that matter. FREEDOM BASE is fun….everyone needs time to relax and enjoy away from their normal work routine amidst shouts of encouragement and calls for assistance, laughter is the dominant sound at freedom base. FREEDOM BASE is for you….corporate teams, youth groups, church fellowships, a group of friends….there is something for everyone. Managers, ministry teams, lawyers, doctors, street kids, university students, business leaders and families, you will all find something special for you at freedom base. WHAT IS AT FREEDOM BASE

When you arrive at the freedom base you will be welcomed by young, knowledgeable, energetic and enthusiastic team of facilitators. You will wonder about the simple structures scattered around. Soon you will discover their riches. If you want a higher challenge, try the High ropes, designed for both individual and group, the high ropes course welcomes you to try new initiatives while balancing nearly ten metres above the ground on logs, ropes and steel cables. Each of these challenges has been designed to enable participants to discover new levels of community and self-understanding. The experiences of thousands of people world over have demonstrated the value of this approach to team building and leadership development. Who are we? Freedom base is part of Daystar University’s Doulos: Leaders in Service program. Doulos uses adventure, service and community as a tool to nurture leaders who understand that the best leader is one who serves others and nurtures their growth. At freedom base every group is facilitated by university students and Doulos staff who have been trained in the use and processing of adventure/challenge experiences. Doulos staff have trained with some of the world’s leading outdoor and experiential education organizations, including Outward Bound, National Outdoor Leadership School and Mt. Kenya school of Adventure and Leadership.
