Day 1

The much-awaited MYP 1 Annual Adventure Camps 2023 to Solan marked our debut journey as MYP students. The adventure commenced before dawn at 4:00 a.m., with students eager to embark on the trip. Despite the early hour, high spirits fueled laughter and enjoyment throughout the ride until we paused at Murthal for a delightful breakfast. Resuming our travel, we arrived in Solan, where we transferred to smaller vehicles for the final leg of our trip to Dharon ki Dhar, a serene retreat with lush landscapes.

Upon arrival, everyone settled into their accommodations before gathering for a sumptuous lunch. In the evening, the group split into two, with one set tackling a Confidence course and the other Zip-lining and Valley crossing. Both activities set hearts racing and ended with an adrenaline rush.

Following the day's exertions, we relaxed with the air filled with chatter and laughter.

Day 2

Last evening held a touch of magic as we came together to celebrate Yashika Anand's birthday. The cake-cutting ceremony was more than a tradition; it was a moment that brought us all closer, a prelude to dinner that filled our hearts with warmth and joy.

This morning, we woke to a campsite alive with vibrant energy. Starting our day with the comfort of milk and cookies, we were soon energized by a hearty breakfast, setting the stage for a day filled with discovery. The hike to Jung Bahadur Thapa Fort, led by Major Priya Jhingan, wasn't just a walk through the woods—it was a journey that brought the stories of the Shivalik and Dhauladhar Ranges to life, igniting our wonder with every view.

In the heart of nature, we paused, our hands weaving art from the leaves, sticks, and rocks we found. This wasn't just art; it was a connection, a moment where each of us found harmony with the earth.

As the day unfolded, we soared on zip lines and cheered each other on across valleys and obstacles, each cheer a note in the symphony of our shared exhilaration.

Tonight, we look forward to gathering around the bonfire, a circle of bright minds ready to explore the ideas of sustainability and green living. This conversation will be our bridge from day into night.
And as the stars come out, we'll dance, letting the rhythms move us together in celebration of our day. After a dinner that promises to be as fulfilling as the day itself, we'll retreat to the quiet of our rooms. Surrounded by the tranquil hills, we'll find rest, our thoughts already reaching towards the promise of tomorrow's adventures.

Day 3

Day three at the camp was a day brimming with joy, excitement, and adventure. Students started their morning with the serene view of lush green mountains, enjoying hot milk and cookies in the fresh, crisp air. After a leisurely hot shower and dressing up, they eagerly anticipated a delicious breakfast, leaving them content and ready for the day ahead.

The students then set off to visit a village school, aiming to support the local children. They shared stationery, books, and colors with the underprivileged children, enhancing their educational experience and enjoyment of school. The interaction was heartfelt, and although it was tough to say goodbye, the students left hoping for another meeting in the future.

The day's surprises continued with a visit to a farm, where the students delighted in playful activities with their peers, embodying the essence of fun. Post the farm visit, a hearty meal awaited them, recharging their energy for the afternoon's activities.

Refreshed from their rest, the students embraced their inner gardeners by planting native plants in the 'Vatika' area, taking pride in contributing to the environment. They then learned the intricacies of tent pitching, mastering the skill with enthusiasm and earning a well-deserved treat of hot milk and refreshments.

After their personal time, the students will reflect on the day's experiences. The evening will crescendo with the Camp Eco-Forerunners Campfire and dance night. As the night begins to wind down, the students will enjoy a delicious meal before retiring to their rooms, full and looking forward to the adventures that the next day will bring.
