CAMP STORIES
AchievEment unlocked
Trailblazers conducts a CAS camp amidst the Sahyadris One of the most wholesome camps we conduct are our CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) Camps. Packed with a variety of activities that spans all three avenues, these are camps where students also experience various emotions. Adventure activities are not everyone’s cup of tea, however after loads of motivation from the Trailblazers Team, children often complete all of them and feel a sense of achievement. Many overcome their fear of heights or water while attempting them. Creative sessions allow for the freedom of expression which can be seen in the stunning artwork created by the students. Finally, service activities help the students experience empathy and glimpse into a world far from their own. Trailblazers conducted a CAS camp for a reputed IB school amid the majestic Sahyadris. Away from the city, this beautiful landscape offered a perfect setting for the students to reflect and take a break from the constant pressure of tests and assignments. Adventure activities ensured that the adrenaline levels were high and added some thrill to the camp. It was also a time for some of the students to shed all their inhibitions and conquer their fears. Their accomplishment could be seen on their faces as their expression of anxiety turned into brimming smiles and nervous laughter once they were done with the activity. Trailblazers conducted several team activities that helped the group collaborate and work well together. We also introduced them to a few outdoor hacks and tips related to camping which helped them appreciate the outdoors with a newfound respect. Students took part in a conservation activity and interacted with expert Ecologists to do their bit for the environment. Working closely in nature and with the soil, helped them reconnect with the land. During their reflections all of them recounted how they felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction having taken part in the activity. The Trailblazers team found the students to be receptive, bright, co-operative, warm, encouraging and open to all methods of learning that were presented on the camp. They challenged themselves to take on every task and cooperated with the team towards every activity with enthusiasm and energy.
