Where Science, Nature & Adventure Come Together in the pristine landscapes of Corbett and Nainital.
Programme Overview
Welcome to an Immersive Learning Experience
The journey begins with a warm traditional welcome at the resort, where students are greeted with refreshments before settling into their comfortable accommodations. Surrounded by the peaceful wilderness of Corbett, participants have time to relax and enjoy the natural environment before beginning their educational adventure.
The programme opens with an engaging projector-based presentation on space and astronomy, introducing students to the fascinating world of planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe. This interactive session builds curiosity and lays the foundation for the exciting astronomical activities ahead.
Hands-On Hydro Rocketry Workshop
One of the major highlights of the camp is the practical Hydro Rocketry Workshop, where students design, build, and launch their own rockets under expert guidance.
- Principles of aerodynamics
- Basics of propulsion and engineering concepts
- Scientific experimentation
- Teamwork and problem-solving
Watching their self-built rockets launch into the sky makes science both engaging and memorable.
Astronomy Under Corbett's Clear Night Sky
As evening arrives, students experience one of the most exciting parts of the programme—a professionally guided Astronomy Night Session beneath Corbett's clear skies. This immersive experience includes guided navigation of the night sky, constellation identification, telescope observation of the Moon, and viewing visible planets and deep-sky objects.
Scenic Excursion to Nainital
The programme also includes a full-day educational and recreational excursion to the beautiful hill station of Nainital. Students visit the picturesque Naini Lake, surrounded by magnificent hills and vibrant local markets, before spending time exploring the famous Mall Road.
Guided Jungle Walk & Waterfall Trek
Nature becomes the classroom during a guided jungle walk through the surrounding forest trails of Corbett. Students gain valuable insights into local flora, wildlife habitats, birdlife, and forest ecosystems.
Adding an adventurous element, students participate in a guided trek to a nearby waterfall, combining nature exploration, outdoor learning, and photography opportunities.
Solar Observation & Corbett Museum
The scientific learning continues with a safe telescope-based Solar Observation Session. Students observe the Sun using specialised equipment while learning about sunspots, solar activity, and the structure of the Sun.
The programme concludes with a visit to the Corbett Museum, where students discover the remarkable legacy of Jim Corbett and gain valuable insights into wildlife conservation and the history of Corbett National Park.
