OUTWARD BOUND TRIPS WOODY ADVENTURES
FAQs
WHAT ARE OUTWARD BOUND TRIPS? This is Kumaran’s most exciting and happening activity. During weekends
and vacations, students indulge in variety of adventure sports like trekking, camping, cross country cycling, cave
walking, fort exploration, rock climbing, Himalayan trek, Himalayan safari, skiing, kayaking, wildlife camps etc. The
club activities are open to all the students of Kumaran’s. Participation is optional.

HOW SAFE IS AN ADVENTURE TRIP? Any adventure sport has its own inherent risks. To limit risks, the
adventure sports activities of SKCH are out sourced to a professional outfit, Woody Adventures Inc. Most adventure
programs won’t take children into the wilderness under age 10. Because of the maturity and experience of the
organizers and carefully designed program, Woody Adventures Inc starts outdoor activities at age 6. Physical and
psychological safety is at utmost priority. The activity matches an average child’s physical and psychological needs.
Neither the chosen destination is new to the organizers nor are the organizers outsider to the participating children.
In over fifteen years, Woody Adventures Inc has organised more than 300 outings for Kumaran’s [CBSE, MLS] alone.

WHERE DO ADVENTURE TRIPS HAPPEN? Except for snow, Karnataka state is blessed with all kinds of landforms
apt for adventure. While day outings and overnight outings are organised in and around Bangalore, three or four
days outings are organised a little away in the Western Ghats. The ultimate adventure is apparently the 1-week
expedition when teams venture out as far as Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh
and Nagaland.

HOW ARE THE ADVENTURE TRIPS PLANNED? The trip dates are meticulously planned considering the
academic schedule of tests, exams, school excursions and holidays. Children are groomed to undertake adventure
sports from class 1. The activity for class 1 is soft and introductory. As the child progresses into higher classes the
challenge level proportionally matches the age. Adventure destinations keep changing every year.

HOW ARE THE TRIPS ORGANISED? Adventure trip dates are intimated through Edchemy, circulars and school
diary. The circular contains all relevant information. Private vehicles are hired. The catered food is simple, wholesome
and vegetarian. Most of the wilderness areas where the adventure activities happen have no basic amenities or
infrastructure at all.

NOTE TO PARENTS AND CHILDREN

 Do not expect “class teachers” to accompany the trip all the time.
 Parents are sincerely requested to read the circular carefully and explain the same to the child. This will
prepare the child for the adventure trip. On return from the trip, encourage the child to talk and do give a
patient listening to make the experience a complete learning experience.
 The organizers will answer all queries in the allotted time mentioned in the circular.
 Adventure sport is not everyone’s cup of tea. Some like some don’t!
 The intensity and the weather conditions during the activity may pose a significant challenge to the over-
weight and faint-hearted participants.
 While reporting for the trip, parents should see that the child’s name is listed. Thereafter, parents are
sincerely requested to leave immediately and not wait till the team leaves for the trip. This will facilitate the
organizers to take charge of the children.
