Camping can be a valuable experience for school students in Europe for a variety of reasons:

  1. Experiencing the Outdoors: Many students spend a lot of time indoors, either in school or at home, and may not have had the opportunity to explore nature. Camping can provide them with an opportunity to experience the great outdoors, connect with nature, and appreciate the beauty of the natural world. Le Frehindi pioneer in setting up experiential-based camps in India, the Indian subcontinent & the middle east.
  2. Developing Independence: Camping can be a great way for students to develop independence and learn important life skills, such as cooking, setting up a tent, and navigating through unfamiliar territory. These skills can help build confidence and self-reliance, which can benefit them in all areas of life. Most of the programs developed by Le Frehindi are created from learning from ERASMUS bases programs in Europe where Le Frehindi is based, hence most of the programs launched in the Indian subcontinent focus on making students more independent & learning survival skills.
  3. Building Social Skills: Camping often involves working with others to set up camp, cook meals, and participate in group activities. This can help students develop social skills such as communication, teamwork, and conflict resolution, which are essential for success in both school and in life. Two flagship camps of Le Frehindi in India are already operating in Auroville in Pondicherry & Mukteshwar in Uttarakhand, Himalayas.
  4. Learning about Sustainability: Camping can provide an opportunity for students to learn about sustainability and the importance of protecting the environment. Students can learn about Leave No Trace principles, conservation practices, and the impact of human activities on the natural world. In Le Frehindi camps we make them aware too how the politics of the future is changing on environmental issues & how it is crucial to adopt sustainable initiatives in their own country.
  5. Physical Activity: Camping often involves physical activities such as hiking, swimming, and canoeing, which can provide students with an opportunity to get active and improve their physical fitness. Le Frehindi takes utmost care for safety & security with trained staff in Europe.
