Why Adventure for Schools?

Catch them young they say and they do when they need to spoil! Noodles, Chocolates, Regimes, coaching institutes, you name them and they all try to catch them young!

Adventure is for souls who want to be free. If you don’t like being told to stay out, if you don’t like to get stopped whenever you push your limits, become an explorer, an adventurer!

So, adventure is not for schools, not for teachers, not for parents, it is for our young friends. It is that platform where they not just have fun but also learn to take charge. They make critical decisions, work as real teams, do things that they normally are not allowed to do, most importantly express themselves.

What do we offer

Day Events

Most convenient & affordable option. Adventure activities setup is installed inside the campus. Its like a simulated environment, where students learn the basics of different adventure techniques under the supervision of our expert team.

Nature Camps

The target of a Nature camp is to simply provide happy and reflective experience to the young minds. True reflections mostly come only when you are out of your comfort zone and they become fond memories if the process is exciting and happy. Adventure based Nature camp is just the right recipe.

More About Day Events

We do not offer the “Joy Ride Fair” which has become a norm in this industry. Students are lined up like sheep and made to roll on ropes at different angles with no proper briefing, no learning, and no outcome based approach, just a bit of thrill here & there! Bikat Adventure Day is a sequential game played by students (one at a time) after detailed briefing on each activity. Activities are sequentially set-up as part of a larger schema.

We don’t do a day event as a fair. We do it as a systematic experiential workshop. 3 most important ways we are different:
a. Out of comfort zone - Life skills are put to use in all adventure activities, if done properly. So, the way we structure the activity is specially designed for each student to have opportunities to come out of the comfort zone
b. Thrilling & Exciting memory – The whole activity is planned like a game. It ain’t a ride fair for kids to have joy rides. So, the game is on and when you add it with the extreme activities involved in the game, it becomes seriously thrilling
c. Learning Based – The whole activity is done in a way that every student must be able to learn the basics about the skills involved in every activity. With small groups, dedicated Guides for briefing, one at a time participation, and many other carefully designed aspects ensure that the day is full of learning.

More About Nature Camps

So, how does a Nature camp create a life time experience? We believe that there are 4 critical principles that form the basis to this:

1. By breaking the normal routine – It is critical that you break your routine of tablets, mobiles, Television, and chocolates! Once you are out of this modern day “clutter” you have the opportunity to breathe fresh and feel yourself. Believe us, you would have never felt so intimate about yourself!

2. In close proximity to nature – There is no better teacher than Nature herself. All what the mankind has achieved, is derived from inspirations created by the Nature. See around your self – Aeroplanes, Cranes, or whatever tool you see around, if you analyse well, you will see the inspiration. But now that we have created so much, we have not left space for our teacher in this clutter. So, innovations or discoveries are becoming minor and minor by the day. Come here to meet the best Teacher in the world and see for yourself how different she is from all your teachers!

3. Out of comfort zone – dependability is good but when you have so many dependable people and structure around, you become dependent which is bad! Adventure is best known for only this – It surely takes you out of your comfort zone. Stand at the cliff before start rappelling and you will know the real chill in the spine. You will not be comfortable here but this is scientifically proven that best learning can happen only outside your comfort zone. So be prepared fellas to try this new style of learning.

4. With ownership of choices – This is unique and very important. We don’t see enough emphasis on this these days. If I forget to bring my sport shoes on a PT day then my dad gets call, if I don’t complete my homework then my mom sees it in my school diary. Who is responsible for my learning? I am and every human being knows this. Even a child knows when he/she cannot even speak. So, she does not leave anything to chance – asks 100 questions, cries for answers, is rigid for them but the social structure kills this basic instinct in us. No one is responsible for you here! Your actions will result in your outcomes. If you don’t try an activity or give up without making any effort, you don’t get to learn it. There is only positive reinforcement working here – you are part of group where everyone’s trying and this alone will make own your decisions – Can’t Believe? Try once!

What is different with Bikat is the design and execution. Our nature camp is not a bundle of activities. It is a structure learning program. The principles are followed to the ‘T’

1. Mix of Team & Individual Activities - The program has a balanced mix of Team based and Individual activities. While individual activities are important to bring each and every individual out in the playground and touch their learning landscapes, Team based activities ensure that individuals understand application of learnings in a practical set up. Life will never present situations that are either purely individual or pure group based. They will always require individual actions that can positively impact a group. So, it is important to learn both – improving yourself individually for better actions & understanding the group contexts better so that your actions impact better. Also, in a fair group, you also learn to assess how others’ action impact groups which then helps your strategize your reactions better.

2. We ensure loads of fun – Nature camp is no concrete school with strict teachers :) we have loads of fun, through activities, bon-fires, camp fun games, Antaksharis, and so much more. Remember only happy people survive better and those who survive better are mostly better than all others who are never happy. Being fun oriented is a basic for us. All our instructors, guides, leaders will be your equals (or sometimes first among the equals, as required) and you will never be treated as kids! Remember “Ownership of choices”

3. Zero Zone – Creating a zone when you are required to do anything. Now this does not mean you don’t do anything, it simply means there is no structure for this time of the day. You are in the lap of the biggest teacher – Nature, so help yourself and learn with her. Just don’t go outside the safety of the camp…that for sure is not allowed :)

More About Climbing Workshops

Sport climbing is the artificial climbing technique that has been standardized over the years into a professional sport. The sport has tremendous scope:

National Competitions The Indian mountaineering foundation is organize the many championship competition like Bouldering ,Speed Climbing and lead climbing for participant on the zonal and National Level. National Sport Climbing Championship (NSCC) ,North Zone Sports Climbing Competition ,South Zone, Sports Climbing competition ,East Zone Sports Climbing Competition ,West Zone Sports Climbing Competition ,Junior North Zone Sport Climbing Championship by Mountaineering Association of J&K, India Open Artificial Bouldering Competition, Bouldering and Dyno Competition at IMF Bouldering.

In 2011, the International Olympic Committee announced that sport climbing is one of the 8 sports shortlisted for the summer Olympics in 2020. They made the final decision on whether the sport would be admitted in 2013, at the 125th IOC session in Buenos Aires. On the 29th of May the IOC decided to not include climbing in the 2020 Olympics.

The two most important benefits of rock climbing.

Physical Aspect: Perhaps the most important element needed, it determines the difficulty faced by the climber and what the climber does to overcome it physically. This requires pure strength and the way to achieve this is to follow an effective fitness regime. Hitting the weights in the gym is probably the greatest mistake that you can do. Surprised? Well, working out in the gym and bench pressing hundreds of pounds is only going to add to your muscles, which is something that you should strictly avoid. Climbing itself is the best exercise out there improve your strength. Besides, it also gives you a lot of practice.

Mental Aspect: Climbing is more of a mental sport than a physical one because the climber has to visualize the path that he will stick to in order to make the climb in less time and at the same time looking for the safe spots. The bottom line is that the climber has to prepare his mind and body according to the difficulty of the climb. These elements of rock climbing can be achieved through simply climbing but at the same time, an additional aspect to be included is concerning the safety of the climbers. Therefore, safety measures have to be the top priority in case of rock climbing for which using proper safety equipment is absolutely essential.

Note:
• The course would lead to talent identification and possibility of selection for Rock Climbing Competitions conducted by Bikat Adventures, Indian Mountaineering Foundation, and others.
