And this is what these Leadership Camps are all about. These leadership Camps are organized every year in close collaboration with The Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (Uttarkashi), The Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (Darjeeling) or even the Infantry Directorate of the Indian Army which in return remove the fear from the child's mind and encourage them to ask- was that really me?.
Close Quarter Combat, Tent Pitching, Night Trekking at high altitudes, River Crossing, Target Shooting, Sand Model displays, Rafting, Environmental Studies and building "Team Spirit" is what these camps offer. And we believe they add strength and substance to our student's life. Our students will not shirk from the unknown in fear, but embrace change with a consummate faith in the deepest principles of existence. Living on the edge, leading from the edge, they respond to uncertainty by joyously seeking their balance in dynamic interaction with the challenges of life.
