Book one project: Dauntless experience camp

Just imagine going through the same thing Tris did, imagine jumping from the roof handling a gun fighting your opponents and finally going through your fear landscape. Now you can at this one week long real life dauntless experience camp.
You will be dropped off at the train station December 16th. Once everyone has arrived you will all board the train and make your way to the compound. Once there you will jump off the moving train. If you wish not to do this then it will eventually stop and you will get off then and make your way to the other dauntless. Try to face your fears because "Fear doesn't shut you down, it wakes you up" The whole time you stay with us you will be scored and ranked and not jumping from the train is an easy way to lower your score from the beginning. Next we will all move to the roof where you will be asked to jump from 7 stories up. If you have not read the book you will find out that there is a net to catch you and you will be perfectly safe. But like the train you may choose to not jump, but also like the train it will lower you score. Once everyone has reached the bottom you will be introduced to your new councilor and no it will not be four.  Then you get to tour the whole camp and you will be shown your new living courters for the next 5 days. Then you will be set free to do as you wish you may get a fake tattoo or dye your hair to make you look more dauntless. As of clothing everyone will be given basic black dauntless clothes. But if you wish to do so then you may buy more extravagant ones at the store. Also breakfast lunch and dinner are all free to everyone. Also you will be given cake, because what else would dauntless have for dessert. Bedtime will be around 10:30 and anyone caught not in their rooms at this time will be thrown in the chasm.
    Day two is leaning to fight. Real martial arts directors will be there to show you very real and dangerous combat moves. You will also be ranked by your ability to learn from the instructors. You will not use these newly learned skills on another person, that part comes later. Food is given to you throughout the day and training ends at 8. After that you are free to roam the compound as you wish until bed time.
    Day three is shooting. We will all meet at the shooting range at first will be given a paintball gun so that you learn the safety procedures first. Then you will be handed a real weapon with live ammo. You will be closely monitored by your councilor to make sure you don’t accidentally hurt somebody. Then it’s time to put your skills to the test. You will go one by one and will be watched and judged by all the counsels. Targets will pop up and move and spin and it is your job to hit as many as you can in a limited time. Then we will all gather and get back on the train and split into two teams and we will all participate in one of the biggest paintball war you have ever seen. It will be a basic capture the flag game and whoever wins gets mass respect and a extra piece of cake when you get back. Also winning will help your raking. 
    Day four is fighting. Remember when you learned how to fight; now you get to put those skills to use. There will be a huge one loss elimination tournament. Each gender will have their own tournament. Don’t worry there will be a number of rules and refs to make sure that you are safe but not to much that it is no longer fun or challenging.
Day five is the finale day before leaving the compound and the day you have all been waiting for. You will go through your own fear landscape. Since there is no such thing as a simulation serum we have made something as close to it as possible. You will be asked your fears on a lie detector and your answers will be then to a 3-D high definition movie clip."Becoming fearless isn't the point that's impossible its learning how to control your fear and how to be free from it." You will then walk into the fear landscape room witch is one big screen in a complete circle and experience that movie. It will be realistic and very scary. You may stop that movie with a safe word whenever you want to but if you want to rank high I advise against it. After everyone has gone you will be given your score. Do your best and don't underestimate your opponents "A brave man acknowledges the strength of others" Don't worry no one is going to go frictionless but more campers are very excited to see where they would have stood if they lived in the world of divergent.
      The point of this camp is to bring you closer with the feeling and challenges of the characters in the movie while you are still completely safe. Also it will make people who maybe have not read the book want to, to see how close their experience was to the characters in the book. Don’t forget faction before blood and I hope you choose dauntless.

  1. Sounds like an intense experience! I like your detailed explanation of each day and how you were able to describe how the events from the book would be translated into real life. I'm not sure I could jump from 7 stories even if I knew there was a net.

    Good job!
