After a long gap of two years due to covid lockdown, children were more than eager and excited to CONNECT with nature & hit the outdoors. What better way to channelize youth exuberance than summer nature study camps. In the series of five camps this was the first and the response was overwhelming. Forty-five students in the age group 8-17 from different schools of Bangalore joined in the camp. The students were introduced to the pristine forest and its habitants in Nagarhole. They played many games to understand the relationships and inter dependencies between all life forms, thus understanding the importance of conserving nature.
