Camp 14000ft | Programs



There is a joy in discovering the mountains, nature and adventure, especially when you are young. Minus the cynicism of the grown-ups and still able to wonder at the first sight of snow, we believe that children make the best candidates. That is the reasoning behind Camp 14000ft.

Camp 14000ft is the ideal introduction to the Himalayas and adventure with adequate doses of camping, hiking and nature-based activities. Beyond these, leadership and team building activities are an integral part of our camp. Competitive, non-competitive and co-operative adventure-based activities are not only great fun for children but also help them discover new strengths and skills in themselves and their friends. In addition, they will learn about the flora and fauna of the Western Himalayas.

It is not all-work-and-no-play either. We understand the apprehensions of being away from home, parents and pets. So all activities come with large servings of fun. Invariably, these lead to some very strong friendships that last long after the camp.

Why should you send your child / student to Camp 14000ft?

Today's education system is a maze of tests, exams, grades and tuitions, over-ridden by performace pressure. Ask any 10th or 12th Std student and they will attest to this. On a larger scale, this creates a host of short and long term problems such as bad fitness levels, obesity, depression and loss of imagination. However, (being grown-ups now, though much against our will) we perfectly understand the anxiety of parents to have their children do well in academics. So what we aim at are a few days of the Summer Holidays, those blissfull school-free months.

While new-age schools offer everything from horse-riding to ballet classes, environment and adventure is something that you can learn about and relate to only in the outdoors. And that is what we do at Camp 14000ft.

Why outdoor programs?

Outdoor experiential programs are a great way to discover one's life skills, leadership skills, team spirit and capacity to cope away from the comforts of the known. Providing students with opportunities to learn outdoor and adventure skills is also a common goal, as is the idea of simply giving them the experience of living out of doors.

It is an established fact that adventure/outdoor programs in association with nature improves and develops individual performance in various spheres of life and improves one's abilities to cope with stressful and adverse conditions beyond the camp, in their regular lives.
