Camps:
Camping

reasons. Apart from a self esteem, confidence
and social skill building activity it
also helps one appreciate Adaptive Living

nature. Camps are planned with the main
objective of introducing to participants
the joy of nature and the ideal harmonic
existence between humans and the environment
that should be created and maintained.
It also inculcates an awareness of the
environment and the problems of protecting
it. The camp also imparts basic knowledge
and understanding of the immediate surroundings
and its inter-relationship with human
beings. It tries to make the participants
understand that all form of life has an
important role in maintaining the balance
of our ecology.

monotony of tourism and commercialization.

Nature
Trails: Nature
trails are an attempt to provide a break
to the city dwellers from their ordinarily
hectic daily lives and introduce them
to the natural beauty, peace and serenity
that nature has to offer. A manageable
time period like half a day or so is taken
out to visit a nearby area where natural
flora and fauna can be observed. It proves
to participants the importance of nature
and the proximity man should share with
it. It does not require a great deal of
effort or resources and can provide much
needed respite to people from a city environment.
It can also prove useful for data collection
and field research on birds, butterflies,
etc.

“Anubhav” Outdoor experiential
educational program: This program is specially
planned to relocate the study of environment
to its rightful place enhancing the curriculum
of classroom learning. The outdoors becomes
a living laboratory for the learners in understanding
the elements of nature available in and around
us. The nature study conceived here is not so
much about the learning of names and classification
but giving an inexplicable experience that would
become a continuous process of learning.
