Beginner-friendly activities introduce campers to challenges in a safe, encouraging environment. Campers learn bouldering basics including equipment, knots, balance, and rock movement. Low-ropes obstacles build coordination and trust.

In-tent-ionally Basic

Nights are spent under the stars in spartan yet comfortable tents, equipped with sleeping bags and camping mats, with attached bathrooms. Tents are shared by four to five campers to encourage friendships and teamwork, with boys and girls in separate supervised areas. Clean toilets and hot showers are maintained daily, while campers take responsibility for their own spaces, building independence and respect for shared environments.
