Family Camping

Children start learning at a very early age and the primary sources are parents and immediate family members. Children look for role models to draw inspiration and will follow the role model’s footsteps.

It cannot be over emphasized that parents are the best role models for children. Role Modeling is a very important subject and parents have a major responsibility here. Every aspect our behaviour and action is being watched and can be repeated by the child. For example, how we talk, communicate, take care of ourselves, physical fitness will be role modeled by our children.

Modern career pressures and double income families spare little time for the child to observe the parents and learn. Absence of joint families causes loss of opportunity for role modeling. It is therefore important for families to take time off and spend in the outdoors, participate in joint activities that will provide opportunity for role modeling and inspiration.

Double income couples also find little quality time for themselves resulting in weak bonds, frayed nerves and diminishing love. Regular holidays in resorts and lodges may not provide quality time due to our dependency on gadgets and TV. Adventure programs eliminate all these issues and provide very intense interaction opportunities through sharing and helping each other. Couples going through difficult issues and planning for separation can give this a try and re-discover their emotional bonding, love and romance. They can thus avoid a painful and emotionally disturbing separation through divorce..!

Some of the key objectives handled for family programs are

• Role modeling opportunities for parents
• Wholesome adventure holiday for all
• Improved bonding and understanding between couples
• Family get-togethers with adventure theme

Special Family Camp for Autism

Over a period of 2 years NALS has worked with children affected by Autism. Such children have participated in Adventure programs under close supervision and care. Activities participated by these children include, trekking, high ropes, rappelling and even rock climbing. Parents of these special children also participate in these programs. One of the main feed back from these programs is that the parents of these children are able to focus on their abilities rather than their disabilities. It has also been learnt that these programs improve the child’s neuro-muscular coordination, physical fitness and overall health.

Adventure Internship for Gadget and Social media deaddiction, troubled teenagers, weight / fitness management & stressed individuals

A number of people experience behaviour issues due to gadget and social media addiction, high work stress, insecurity and anxiety, exposure to domestic violence, natural calamity, broken homes and domestic neglect. It has been proven through research that such people can be successfully rejuvenated through outdoor and adventure programs.

The 5000+ acre NALS Manjacombai campus provides an ideal setting for such people. Program duration ranges from 4 days to 6 months.
