Set near the historical 18th century Skandagiri Fort built by Tipu Sultan, this program is a mix of adventure, creativity, age appropriate challenges and learning. Activities are designed to encourage participants to step out of their comfort zone, be independent, become confident, stretch themselves physically and mentally; in a safe and nurturing environment
Explorers spend three days concentrating on each activity in smaller groups of 15–18 under the guidance and supervision of trained instructors. Cool Time sessions fuel the creative side or expand the mind by building on ideas of social, community and environmental awareness. A visit to a neighbouring village is always a grounding experience. Round things off with fun camp games and bonfire sessions.

Being well fed and hydrated is crucial to staying energised for the action-packed days. A fully functional kitchen on campus dishes up fresh, wholesome and nutritious food for every meal. Water, soup or juice provided during hydration breaks through the day. Our instructors take care of the rest. They're all certified outdoor experts who go through extensive training and assessment before working with us. For the comfort and special needs of girls, there is a female instructor assigned to each activity group. A doctor is also present on camp at all times to attend to medical needs.
The group departs from Bangalore in AC buses with push-back seats. We reach the campus in time for lunch. On the way back home, the bus reaches Bangalore Airprot based on the flight timing.
We recommend a little jogging, stretching and exercise a few weeks before the departure to gain the flexibility and agility needed to truly enjoy the experience. Do this wearing the shoes you want to carry for the program—it'll help break into them.
