Objective
The objective of this module works on two broad levels as listed below:
- Participants learn the ethics of camping. Camping is a great leisure activity, which brings the participants closer to the outdoors. What is needed, is to understand and respect the boundaries between humans and nature. These programs develop a healthy and positive outlook in individuals towards nature and outdoors.
- Build on camaraderie and leadership skills. As an activity, camping is also when people develop strong bonds with each other. There is a great sense of camaraderie established, when working together in the outdoors, within limited resources, while surrounded in a natural environment that invokes the spirit of challenge and adventure. This is where peers develop a healthy relationship with each other and leadership skills are sharpened.
Key notes
- The itinerary for such programs may be idealized for an overnight stay, or multiple days of extended treks.
- The overnight modules are an excellent platform for corporate and student groups, considering that these modules ‘drive home the point’ within a limited time period.
