FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1) Does my child need to have any prior backpacking, or outdoor experience?
Not at all! Our camps do not require any prior knowledge or experience in hiking, camping, or pottery. However, it does make it easier on the participants if they enjoy being outdoors or are at least open to it. We do recommend getting a good-fitting backpacking backpack for the backpacking camp. Over the course of the camps, participants will learn everything they need to know (and then some)
Q2) What are your Electronics Policies?
We ask that phones and other electronics besides cameras or a watch to be submitted on Day 1 (please no smartwatches). We ask this for a multitude of reasons, the first being that being in the outdoors and surrounded by nature, we have discovered that most elements do not mix well with our phones or other electronics. Staff will have their phones and take photos although we try and be as present as possible meaning we typically do not use our phones at camp when not needed. As we like to say let’s unplug and connect together!

We provide you with healthy, nutritious food, both veg and non-veg, thrice a day on your trek. There will be snacks in between too, and sometimes pocket snacks for the trail.
