A lot more skills to learn
Our programs are designed to transform students and encourage positive habits like self-discipline, healthy eating and collaborative living. They are offered creative outlets to express themselves by journal writing, face painting and samba. Camp activities build leaders who are independent and accountable for themselves and their peers.

The day is divided into 5 phases that aligns students with their natural body clock and helps them master the art of being their most productive selves.
6:00 – 9:00
Mastering the art of waking up early
This is the time of the day when rigorous exercise, breathing and meditation are most beneficial. Staying active and eating healthy keeps students energised throughout the day
Yoga
A 30 minute yoga session every morning prepares students mentally and physically to overcome challenges through the day.
Morning Exercise
An hour of exercise which includes stretching, jogging, push-ups, sit ups etc. acts as a perfect warm up for the tough physical activities that await.
Woody Buddy

Sunrise Trek
Watching the sun rise is an experience in itself. Students trek for a few meters up the hill to witness the first rays of the sun.
Confidence Courses
Students test their own limits by taking on obstacles such as Commando net, Tarzan swing, Balance beam, Mowgli walk and Hop scotch. They compete with their own selves and emerge more confident and focused.
9:00 – 2:00 PM
Mastering the art of hard work
The best time of the day to get things done and complete the most difficult tasks. The hardest challenges and the most important tasks can be easily completed during this phase.
Mountain Biking

Caving

their way from one place to another.
