Tips for study & sport

Gangtok, March 6: A three-in-one package: adventure camp, nature study and career counselling.

Organised by the Yak and Yeti Travels, the camp promises all three and more. Starting April 14, the three-day meet here will mainly target the 15-30 age group.

Not only that, the camp will also stress on all-round development of youths through international camaraderie. On the last day of the camp, two teachers and 22 students from St John?s College, Australia, will join the participants for a cultural programme.

?Our efforts will be to give our youths a well balanced future and work for a green, peaceful and friendly earth,? Satish Bardewa, the managing director of Yak and Yeti said.

He said the camp?s purpose is to create for the young generation a platform for cultural exchange at both the national and international levels, consolidate their creativity, and instil in them a sense of adventure and teamwork. Knowledge on personal and team safety on adventure trails and emergency rescue measures will also be imparted.

The organisers promised that practical and outdoor lessons on camping and nature study will be imparted by experienced and professional instructors. Qualified and expert mountaineers from across the country will also participate in the camp.

Rock climbing, trekking, mountain biking, rafting and nature study will make up the adventure activity category of the camp. In the nature study category, the focus will be on observation and cultural interaction.

For career counselling, experts like Nakul Giri, the joint secretary of Sikkim Mountaineering Association, Lukendra Rasaily, director of Camp Sikkim, and Tashi Sherpa, instructor of Sikkim Mountaineering Association, will be there to offer tips.
