Adventure Camp for classes II and III

An Adventure Camp offers a host of outdoor activities that can be incredibly exciting, challenging and amply tests ones fitness levels. It offers a unique outdoor experience. These camps set tasks for children that might need to be tackled individually, pushing each child to overcome personal fears and inhibitions. The children are encouraged to motivate each other and thereby achieve. A strong team spirit, new bonds and trust are silently also built. Keeping this in mind, School, this year too, organised an adventure camp on 15th March 2016, during the short break between the final examinations and the new session for the students of classes II and III. The children dressed in track suits arrived at School on the scheduled day eager, enthusiastic and brimming with energy. Their eyes lit up as they caught sight of the elaborate props laid out on the School grounds and couldnt wait to get started.

Soon, the exercises began and the children were taken in groups to the playground. By turn, they were directed to tackle each task. The Flying Fox was a particularly challenging task as each child, attached to a rope with a harness, had to slide to the ground from a height. The Burma Bridge, on the other hand, kept each child alert as they attempted to cross an unsteady bridge of wooden planks held together with a rope. Similarly, they had to manoeuvre expertly to pass through a tunneled net in the Commando Net activity.The objective of each of these activities was to help children to push their limits, as it were and overcome their fears. Each activity was a challenge but it did not deter the children. The bright sun also did not discourage them and they kept going till the end, stopping midway only to enjoy a quick drink and energy snack. The day was a success and evident from the wide smiles every child who had participated. Ms. Priyanka Malhotra and Ms. Radhika Prabhakar.
