LEAD Childrens Program at Camp High 5 and Verdant Valley   Welcome Guest
 

With the outdoors being a critical ingredient of any Adventure Learning Program, the LEAD curriculum has been devised keeping in mind the best outdoor locations that GIO has to offer. Camp Hi5 on the banks of River Alaknanda at Jayalgarh (90 kms from Rishikesh), is ideally located faraway from any tourist destination or place of pilgrimage, yet close enough to the National Highway to make it easily accessible from New Delhi. The gushing Alaknanda, innumerable treks and trails into the nearby mountains and the many rock formations nearby add to the overall outdoor experience. Camp Verdant Valley is set on the banks of the divine Mandakini, the name for the Ganges in the celestial world. Located at Kund 140 km from Haridwar, against the backdrop of the stunning Kedar peak and with the bugyals of Chopta just a stone's throw away, the camp is an outdoorsman's delight with the possibility of indulging in a variety of activities that include trekking, rock climbing, rappelling, camping, etc. to name a few.
