Five schools in and around Coimbatore sent in their students and staff to NALS Devashola campsite on Sunday 24th January 2010. The day long program began with the participants arriving at the campsite at 9.30a.m. After a welcome cup of tea they immediately proceeded to the rocks. NALS Director and instructors demonstrated techniques of rock climbing and briefed them about the safety measures. All the participants including the senior participants accomplished rock climbing under the individual supervision of the instructors. The particpants then proceeded on to the high rope activities. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and could not get enough of the fun. They all became great fans and friends with NALS instructors who had become the friendliest teachers they had ever met.
After a sumptuous vegetarian lunch the participants got involved in an experiential game where the stick they balanced together on their fingers kept going up even as they tried to lower it to the ground. Everyone regardless of their age learned how anxiety in a group effort can produce opposite of the intended results.
The children reluctantly left the campsite at 4p.m. in the evening. The particpants have noted their excitement in their words.
Schools that participated in this program are
Mani Higher Secondary School
Rasakondalar Matriculation School
S.V.Nagar Vidhyalaya Matriculation School
CMS Matriculation School
Koumaram Sushila International Residential School
