When students come back from the end of the company's team course, they will take on an obligation to serve in their school, to explain to everyone what they learned in Beijing's outdoor training. Past groups have formed several clubs with more than 100 members, but only a small portion of them have actually participated in this course. The service project includes spraying theme-based slogans on the walls of the school and hosting "social" days within the school. On this day, students will sit together for lunch with those they rarely interact with. Since the introduction of team and pedagogy courses, Charlotte Outdoor Training Project has provided over one million dollars in scholarships to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. Rufus Dalton, aged 87, has discussed the NC Outdoor School on the board, which was established in 1967. He is now focusing on handling the Charlotte project and leasing their office location on East Hyde Street. Dalton once participated in many outdoor adventures, with his last expedition at the age of 75. Due to having only one full-time staff member (Sturner) and one part-time staff member, the Charlotte Outdoor Project maintains low operational expenses, allowing more funds to be allocated to scholarships. As a non-profit organization, the economic source of Charlotte Outdoor Training mainly relies on government grants and social donations. During the economic recession, with budget cuts, the advisory board of North Carolina's Charlotte Outdoor Training decided to assist through project fundraising. Thus, they initiated a limited watershed tracking competition system, collaborating with the US National Whitewater Center, including 5K, 10K, 15K, and half-marathon competitions within a year. Amos Beason, aged 45, chairman of the Charlotte advisory board, said that this competition system embodies the spirit of outdoor training. "We can hold a corporate annual meeting or a golf tournament," said Beason. "But we prefer to do something that enhances physical fitness, acts as a fundraiser, and reaches other groups at different times throughout the year." Within just two years, this competition system has achieved success, raising over $60,000 for scholarships in the previous year. The success of this new outdoor training system in Asheville has prompted Atlanta to decide to launch within its own area. Looking ahead to the next 15 years, the goal is singular: to provide more scholarships to more people and change more lives. Sturner said, "You will leave the comfort and safety of your familiar life, life will never be the same, and you will become a true person."
