Camping/adventure zone

This year we continued working to establish a camping/adventure zone for the children from Auroville and surrounding villages, to promote the method of gaining knowledge and skills through experience. Its varied landscapes of forest, canyons and nearby lake provides a scenic atmosphere filled with birds, butterflies, snakes (venomous and non venomous) and animals ideal for the experiential learning activities proposed.

Conclusion

Our aim in this work is for visitors to gain knowledge in environmental conservation and apply it in daily life, so that this earth is protected by present and future generations. Each year more and more students participate in our camps.
