Nature Study Camp

This
generation has seen the parents with vaunting ambition which
exacts Herculian labour from the childhood. They are deprived
of growing on their own-since parents’ chief concentration
is on the vocational career of their wards-unheeding their
integral growth. The aftermath is alarming as we see a breed
of over burdened, shaky, indecisive and dependent children.
Children have little scope to know their own potentials, aptitude
and interest. Slowly, the lack of confidence and insecurity
which grows within them stands as a major hurdle when they
step into the practical field. What they need most, is the
proper exposure to the world of reality, i.e. nature’s bounty.
Adventure camping is one such pursuit that enables a child
to come out of his cocoon and spread his wings in the lap
of woods and wilderness.

Adventure camping offers relaxed existence, free
from the pressure of modern life. The more children
learn about wilderness and technique, the greater is their
ability to appreciate and enjoy the challenge and pleasure
that camping in remote places can offer. Techniques of Adventure
camping are closely linked with the principles of survival
and demand adequate protection and the possession of a sound
knowledge of safety and emergency procedures. The techniques
also help to think wild, improvise and kindle their creative
mind.

If
one is able to improvise to the extent that he can exist
in comfort even with limited resources, the hardships
of the trail can be turned into enjoyable experiences
to be cherished. Adventure camping in isolated terrain
builds up the confidence and extends an invitation to
enjoy the peace and solitude of quieter places. It
challenges you to test your skill in making different
things from natural resources, identify animal tracks
or navigate by observing
nature’s
signs. Over and above, children learn to love nature
and protect natural resource

which is the right slogan of the
day.
In western countries, adequate importance is given to this Adventure
camping to build up the character and hence considered a part
and parcel of education at school level. In India also, few
renowned public schools have adopted this Adventure camping
as regular curriculum in the school syllabus. |
|
|
|
We therefore, urge the Institutions to give a serious
thinking and thereby help the children to smell the
fragrance of the nature. NIBS equipped with the fleet
of qualified, expert and experienced Instructors, is
ready to assist the Institutions to organize the systematic
Adventure camping with school children on regular basis.
On request, representatives of NIBS can meet the head
of the Institution to have a precise, but in depth over
the table discussion on the subject.
