Auro Camp, Nainital_18th October to 22nd October’17
Outings, and being under the open skies in the midst of nature, is every child’s dream. This Diwali, Auro Camp at Van Niwas, Nainital, in association with Sri Aurobindo Asharam, gifted a smile to some of the children of our Udayan Ghar (hyperlink) with a trip to Nainital. The objective of the camp was mainly to provide fun, thrills and bonding, stamina and self confidence, while channelizing the children’s energy towards value added activities like trekking, rock climbing, rappelling, and meditation, which were the highlights of the trip and added to their all round personality development.
A team of carers who had accompanied the children, apart from their routine chores, also got an opportunity to revive their relationship with children and rejuvenate themselves.
