Kayaking The Kayaking courses involve processes that foster cadets ’ teamwork and determination . Above all , cadets have to look out for each other when kayaking in the open sea and accomplish all of the above-mentioned tasks even though they feel tired from kayaking half a day in the sun . Therefore , Kayaking not only teaches cadets to acquire technical skills , but also further develops the cadets ’ character .
