Take the first steps
Beginner-friendly activities introduce campers to new challenges in a safe, encouraging environment. Campers learn kayaking basics including paddle strokes, safety equipment, and coordinated movement on calm water. Bouldering sessions introduce climbing equipment, knots, and balance. Guided Sahyadri hikes develop walking techniques and early camping skills, while cool-time sessions combine reflection, games, and group learning.
Safety & Care
Safety is integrated into every activity and daily routine. Experienced Camp Chiefs and instructors supervise all programs with a 1:6 adult-to-participant ratio. Equipment including ropes, helmets, harnesses, and carabiners meets international UIAA standards and is regularly audited. A resident doctor stays on campus, with an emergency vehicle on standby and a multi-specialty hospital approximately 30 minutes away in Kamshet itself.
Room to Roam
Campers stay in comfortable cottages introducing structured community living. Cottages are shared by four to five campers to encourage friendships and teamwork, with boys and girls in separate supervised areas. Attached washrooms with toilets are cleaned daily and hot water is maintained, while campers participate in maintaining their living spaces, building independence and respect for shared environments.
Fueled for Adventure
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 join simple clean-up routines that encourage responsibility.
