Visiting a hill station with greenery in abundance and fresh air all around is truly a blessing. A group of 84 students from classes VIII, IX and XI had the wonderful opportunity of participating in a summer camp at Ranikhet from 25 to 29 May 2023. The group was accompanied by 10 teachers.
The students boarded the appointed buses at night on 25 May and arrived at the venue in the morning. The rooms in fairy tale cottages were very inviting! They were spacious and clean. Each day, the students relished a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner, served timely. Additionally, an eco-friendly outdoor cooking session was organised using equipment sourced from the surrounding woods.
The students also took part in various adventure activities such as the Magic Carpet and Ball Alignment, which engaged them both physically and mentally. These activities fostered teamwork and leadership skills among the students.
