Fit for Life Programme (FLIP)

Adventure Program for Schools

Suguna PIPS School (Coimbatore) participated in a 2 day Adventure Program at NALS Devashola campsite. A group of 52 students accompanied by the school staff arrived at 7.30pm on 26.02.10.As the program unfolded the children were so caught up that time just flew by and before they knew it, it was Sunday and time to leave. We had a lot of tearful goodbyes and heartrending farewells which lasted all the way up to Barliyar. They left with lots of cherished memories and discovered innate abilities and self confidence.

All the instructors were deeply touched by this group and glad that they could make everlasting impressions on these young individuals. A special thanks to Alwyn Francis (Physical Director) who did all the arrangements for his students to attend this program.

NALS Adventure Introduction for Schools and Adventure Club Members

Three schools in Coimbatore sent in their students and staff to NALS Devashola campsite on Sunday 31st January 2010. Joining them were some of our Adventure club members. 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  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 which requires team work and problem solving skills.
The children reluctantly left the campsite at 4.30 p.m. in the evening. The particpants have noted their excitement in their words.

NALS Adventure Introduction for Schools

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.
