Under the aegis of the founders and Directors of Mount Carmel Schools Dr Earnest Charles J Samuel and Dr Annie Charles Samuel, Mount Carmel School, Chandigarh organized a three-night, four-day trip to Kufri, Shimla for students of classes VI- VIII. Prior to their departure, a prayer was conducted by the school Principal Dr. Parveena John Singh,to seek divine blessings for a safe journey.
On the first day, students participated in activities based on Leave No Trace (LNT) Principles and learned to cook Maggi with their team members. The following day, they received training in constructing improvised shelters and basic first aid.
To introduce an element of adventure and excitement to the educational trip, several activities were conducted, including the Burma Bridge, Bamboo Balance, Bamboo Bridge, Plank Bridge, and Zip-lining. These activities provided students with valuable life skills and fostered a sense of adventure.
Living in the lap of nature for a few days and beginning each day with prayer, surrounded by teachers and friends instead of parents, was a novel experience for the students. They thoroughly enjoyed the trip, which created many cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
