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.
Schools that participated in this program are
1. Sri Jayendra Saraswathy Vidyalaya
2. National Model Secondary School
3. Monarch International School
And NALS Adventure club members.

You really rocked my day!Unforgettable day in my life for which actually I had been dreaming and waiting for...A very big and heart felt thanks to my Secretary Madam because without her, I wouldn't have got this wonderful chance at all! A very big thanks to NALS.
Hope to join "U" again!
I have really enjoyed. The trainers taught us soo many things and they were friendly. I do know what to say it was really enjoyable.
very inspiring, enthusiastic games with fun. We didn't realize how we passed one day. Its full of mind games too.Advice for students to go this kind of training.
We belong to the adventure club. Thanks to NALS for showing us what adventure is and how safely we can enjoy it.
Jan 31 is a day which we would never forget in our life.The whole day was excited, fun, enjoyable, fantastic,marvelous, superb, ................. It is an experience every one should go through.Our special thanks to our trainers Mr.Biru and Mr.Raja.
Our day started out at 5a.m.I was very skeptical about how safe it would be for our kids to go rock climbing.As soon as we started our activities for the day I saw that the trainers were not only well trained to teach rock climbing to our kids but they seemed to have a knack to handle the kids with patience & encouragement.Each child was encouraged to give any activity a try before saying "I can't".By the end of the day the trainers had created a bond & team spirit amongst all in our group. Although rock climbing is a tiring sport non of our kids looked nor felt tired by the end of the day.Having seen the way the trainers took care of our kids I'm confident enough to send my son back on his own without me having to accompany him.Thank you to our 2 instructors viru & raja.
