Two paths to explore

Campers choose between rock climbing with backpacking, or ropes-course progression with outdoor survival skills. Climbing sessions introduce technical equipment, knots, jumaring, and rappelling, while backpacking builds campcraft and navigation awareness. The ropes course develops confidence progressively, and survival sessions introduce shelter building, water purification, signalling, and environmental awareness through guided night-out experiences.

Guided with care

Safety is integrated into every activity and daily routine. Experienced Camp Chiefs and instructors trained through leading outdoor institutions supervise all programs with a 1:6 adult-to-participant ratio, with additional female instructor support. Equipment meets international UIAA standards and is regularly audited. A resident doctor stays on campus, with an emergency vehicle on standby and a nearby hospital in Panchgani approximately 30 minutes away.

Simple camp living

Campers stay in spacious tabins (tent-cabins) or dormitories supporting structured community living. Accommodation is shared by four to five campers to encourage friendships and teamwork, with boys and girls in separate supervised areas. Clean washrooms are maintained daily, while campers take responsibility for their own living spaces, building independence, ownership, and respect for shared environments.

Meals for active days

Nutritious, balanced meals keep campers energised through active program days. Food is predominantly vegetarian, with eggs at breakfast and non-vegetarian meals offered several times during camp. Jain meal requests are accommodated. Regular snacks and hydration are provided throughout the day, meals are supervised by instructors, and campers participate in simple clean-up routines that encourage responsibility.
