On 19th May 2026, the students began their day with great energy and excitement at Camp Nainital. After breakfast, the campers enthusiastically participated in adventure activities such as River Crossing and Commando Net under the guidance of trained instructors.

Later, the students embarked on an adventurous trek from the camp to the famous Woodpecker Point. The approximately 7-kilometre trek through scenic forest trails allowed the students to witness the mesmerizing beauty of nature while enhancing their endurance and team spirit. The trekking experience also encouraged the students to appreciate the natural environment and develop a sense of responsibility towards its conservation.
