XCC is a unique adventure for men, designed to test men’s abilities, to find their breaking point, and to overcome the abyss between the head and the heart.
“Deep in his heart, every man longs for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.”
– John Eldredge, Wild at Heart.
You are who you are and you do what you do, based on what you know to be true about God.
Friendship is a deep openness that develops when people speak the truth in love to one another, and journey together to the same horizon.
The concept of justice and call to justice are inescapable. This is the righting of wrongs, through generosity and social concern.
The Xtreme Character Challenge (XCC) has been specially developed for men who are looking for answers to the big questions of life. Throughout the adventure you will explore and discover what it means to be a man in this modern world. Come with everything you have: with your failure and your success, with your thinking and your doing, with your heart and your hands, your smile and your tears: come as yourself.
XCC is physically demanding. The journey is based in wilderness locations where you will need to carry all the equipment you need to survive. There are no cars, no rides, no lifts. Your feet will move you from place to place. Some say it is the hardest thing they have ever done.You have to be ready to think big. To open your mind and soul. There are moral challenges and also spiritual challenges. This is not an expedition for quitters: come determined to press on. This is an adventure like no other.
You operate in teams of six to eight men. You can compose this team yourself or you can register as a smaller group or individually and we then assign you to a team. Your team will become your brothers, so if you don’t have anyone to come along with, come anyway! You will have brothers when you leave.
If you want to participate as a complete team, each person must register separately.
Held twice a year in Australia’s beautiful scenery, XCC is a unique adventure for men, designed to test men’s abilities, to find their breaking point and to overcome the abyss between the head and the heart.
