Hungry Games Camp: Building Resilience, Leadership, and Confidence

At SportsValues, we’re passionate about creating transformative experiences, and the Hungry Games Mental Resilience Camp has been a testament to that mission. Having run this camp six times across primary and secondary schools, as well as for CCA leaders, we’ve witnessed its profound impact on both students and teachers.

Key Learning Points from the Hungry Games MRT

From the beginning, the goal of the Hungry Games Camp has been to instill mental resilience, leadership skills, and teamwork through engaging and interactive activities. Along the way, we’ve discovered just how effective the camp has been in achieving these outcomes.

A recent research finding further validated our approach, showing that the mental resilience tools taught during the camp are spot on and highly relevant for today’s students. This aligns perfectly with our aim to prepare participants to tackle challenges confidently in school, sports, and life.

Positive Testimonials from Students and Teachers

The feedback we’ve received has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re proud to share some heartfelt testimonials:

By Students:

“It’s a meaningful camp as there are many different techniques taught to help me with stressful situations.” “Overall, the experience was great and much needed. It was great to learn more ways to de-stress and face challenges as a leader.” “The camp was fun and hands-on!” “The programmes forced me to step out of my comfort zone and I grew more confident thanks to that.”

By Teachers:

"Highly recommend the programme to other schools! Very effective visualization activities!" "Students are observed to be more confident and able to take initiative to lead their teammates during CCA sessions." "The activities were interesting and interactive, reinforcing mental resilience and goal-setting strategies."

Innovating with the HGMRT

Recently, we introduced the Hungry Games Mental Resilience Test (HGMRT) as a pre- and post-camp assessment. This tool helps track progress and gives participants a clearer understanding of their growth. You can now try the HGMRT for free on our website and see how you measure up!
