Thrilling Adventure Camp at Aru
On August 8th, a thrilling adventure camp was organized for the senior students of the Learning Resource Centre (LRC) of Delhi Public School at the picturesque location of Aru. Sixteen enthusiastic students participated in the camp, which was carefully supervised by five dedicated teachers, a doctor, and a professional trek trainer. The two-day, one-night camp was designed to foster self-help and organizational skills among the students, offering them a unique opportunity to engage in various activities aimed at enhancing these essential life skills.
The first day of the camp kicked off with an insightful visit to a traditional mud house, giving the students a glimpse into the region’s rich cultural heritage. Following this, the students embarked on a warm-up trek to the riverside, where they eagerly participated in an exciting river-crossing activity. This initial experience set the tone for the adventurous days ahead, as the students learned to work together and support one another in overcoming challenges.
The second day of the camp was marked by the main trek, a more demanding endeavor that involved crossing streams with the aid of ropes. This activity not only tested the students’ physical endurance but also encouraged them to apply problem-solving skills in real-time scenarios. Additionally, the students were taught the intricacies of tent-making, a vital skill for any trekking enthusiast, as they learned to create shelters in the great outdoors.
Apart from these core activities, the students also enjoyed a variety of recreational games, allowing them to unwind and bond with their peers. The camp provided a well-rounded experience with thoughtfully prepared meals, including snacks, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, ensuring the students were well-nourished and energized throughout their adventure. The day concluded with a lively bonfire, where students shared stories, sang songs, and created lasting memories of their time together. The adventure camp at Aru was more than just a recreational outing; it was a platform for the students to develop resilience, teamwork, and self-reliance, all while enjoying the beauty of nature.
