Climb your way
Campers choose between two adventure tracks: rock climbing with backpacking, or ropes course with outdoor survival. Climbing introduces technical equipment, knots, jumaring, and rappelling, while backpacking builds campcraft and navigation awareness. The ropes course develops confidence progressively, and survival sessions teach fire-building, shelter improvisation, water purification, and plant identification. Community service, cycling basics, and Helter Skelter add further depth to the experience.
Safety & Care
Safety is woven into every activity and daily routine. Camp Chiefs and instructors trained through NOLS, NIM, JIM, and HMI 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 the nearest hospital in Virajpet approximately 30 minutes away.
Dorm-azing Days
Participants share spacious dormitories with washrooms featuring multiple toilets and access to hot water for bathing. Boys and girls are accommodated separately. Washrooms are cleaned daily by staff, and campers are encouraged to contribute to the upkeep of their living spaces, building habits of responsibility, teamwork, and mutual respect that run through the heart of the Coorg Experience
Fueled for Adventure
Nutritious, balanced meals keep campers energised across full days of outdoor activity. Food is predominantly vegetarian, with eggs at breakfast and non-vegetarian options available four to five times. Jain meal requests are accommodated. Snacks and hydration reminders are provided regularly, mealtimes are closely supervised, and campers are encouraged to wash their own dishes and minimise food wastage.
