Paddle, Kayak & More
Magadi
Set in a campsite amidst the rugged landscapes around Magadi, right beside the backwaters of the YG Halli Dam, this program offers an immersive outdoor experience where adventure meets skill-building. Mornings on the water and days on the rock create a dynamic setting for kayaking and climbing, as campers progress from foundational skills to more challenging pursuits. As they take ownership of their routines and equipment, confidence and resilience grow naturally. With a strong emphasis on independence, teamwork, and personal growth, the program pushes participants to step out of their comfort zones and discover what they’re truly capable of—all within a safe and supportive environment.
Step Up: Magadi Adventure
Set over six dynamic days, this camp builds essential outdoor skills through kayaking and rock climbing in a progressive, hands-on format. Kayaking begins with flat-water basics, covering paddle strokes, steering, and turning, before moving into longer open-water sessions that develop coordination and balance. Rock climbing starts with bouldering and advances to real rock faces and rappelling, building trust, focus, and resilience. Throughout the program, campers take ownership of their gear and daily routines, fostering independence alongside their physical and mental growth.
Safety & Care
Safety is carefully maintained across every activity and daily routine. A 1:6 adult-to-participant ratio ensures personalised attention, with at least one female instructor per ten female participants. Equipment meets international UIAA standards and is regularly audited. A resident doctor is on campus for the full duration, with an emergency vehicle on standby and the nearest multi-specialty hospital in Magadi approximately 7km away.
Accommodation
Participants share spacious dormitories with washrooms featuring multiple toilets and access to hot water for bathing. Boys and girls are accommodated separately. Washrooms are cleaned daily by staff, and campers are encouraged to contribute to the upkeep of their living spaces, building habits of responsibility, teamwork, and mutual respect that run through the heart of the Magadi experience.

Nutritious, balanced meals keep campers energised across full days of physical activity. Food is predominantly vegetarian, with eggs at breakfast and non-vegetarian options available four to five times. Jain meal requests are accommodated.
