Confidence Building
Developing confidence is an
important part of growing up. We
build self-confidence in children
through fun-filled but challenging
activities such as Flying Fox,
Burma Bridge, Commando
Crossing, Crossing The Wall,
Rappelling etc. Besides
confidence, they also enhance
their self-esteem, self-belief and
self-worth. These activities make
children discover their hidden
strengths.

Rural Exposure & Community Services
An exposure to rural life
makes children aware of
the peculiar environment
in which their villagecounterparts live in. The
children take a bullock
card ride to the village
and are shown a well,
visit a school, indulge in
community work, see
various aspects of village
life and then sit on the
floor to enjoy a village –
lunch.

Survival Techniques
Learning to manage &
sustain themselves under
adverse circumstances, is
another challenge our
campers face. We allow
them to trek, pitch their own
tents, cook their own food
and spend a night out under
the stars – an experience
they don’t ever forget.
