Based on the results of the study, it is known that the character of the students who take part in the Tapak Suci extracurricular can develop well. It is evident from the habit of the students who were lazy to worship before participating in the exercise, after participating in the practice they became more diligent in worship, the students who lacked a sense of empathy became individuals who liked to help others, and the students who rarely valued time became individuals who really value time. So that the school is very supportive, even making the Tapak Suci extracurricular as an implementation of character education. This is also because the teachings in the holy site are considered in accordance with the school's vision and mission. The process of cultivating character by the Tapak Suci trainers during the training has always been successfully implemented within the students automatically, starting from the religious character, the character of tolerance as well as the character of discipline and responsibility..
