REPORT: We are pleased to submit the report on the recently conducted Educational Tour to Jim Corbett and Nainital for the students of Class X, held from 31st May to 2nd June 2025.
A total of 70 students, accompanied by 8 teachers, participated in this three-day experiential learning program designed to enhance academic concepts, environmental awareness, and personal development.
Day 1: Arrival and Adventure-Based Learning
The group checked in at Corbett The Grand Resort and visited Devbhoomi Outdoor Adventure Park. Here, students actively participated in a series of activities including zip-lining, wall climbing, and the water roller. These activities were structured to promote teamwork, physical coordination, and self-confidence, helping students overcome challenges and build trust among peers.
Day 2: STEM Exploration and Environmental Interaction
The second day began with a Rocketry Workshop, where students designed and launched simple rocket models. This hands-on session offered valuable exposure to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) principles, encouraging curiosity and creative thinking.
Following the session, the group travelled to Nainital, to explore Eco Cave Park. It offered a glimpse of Himalayan wildlife through several animal caves. Caves of different sizes, built for different animals looked like a natural habitat. Tiger cave, panther cave, bats cave, squirrel cave, flying fox cave and apes cave are some of the informative caves that students visited. Each cave offered a unique experience, demonstrating the natural habitats of the animals they are named after. The students navigated narrow cave paths, observed stalactites and stalagmites, and learned about cave ecology. Students showed enthusiasm and curiosity during the cave explorations. They displayed discipline and followed safety instructions responsibly. The experience encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and appreciation of nature. Post lunch at Nainital, students had the opportunity to observe the local culture, interact with the environment, and explore Mall Road. The day concluded with a shared dinner at the hotel, fostering social bonding and a sense of community.
Day 3: Heritage and Conservation Learning
On the final day, the group visited the Corbett Museum, where students learned about Jim Corbett’s contributions to wildlife conservation through exhibits, documentaries, and an engaging sound-and-light show. This visit deepened their understanding of conservation efforts and the importance of preserving biodiversity.
Learning Outcomes
The tour successfully met its educational objectives by enhancing environmental awareness and heritage appreciation, reinforcing scientific concepts through hands-on STEM activities, encouraging team spirit, leadership, and social responsibility and offering meaningful experiential learning beyond the classroom.
