The Kamshet Rangers Camp by Foliage Outdoors is designed for children ages 10–12 to explore, grow, and build confidence in the great outdoors. The Kamshet Rangers Camp is located near scenic Thokarwadi Lake, where campers can enjoy a variety of activities that test their skills and courage, at a fully managed campsite by Foliage Outdoors.
The program is packed with fun, action, and meaningful learning, featuring exciting Adventure Challenges – including the Burma Bridge, Commando Net, Suspension Ladder, Multi-Vine, and Archery – that directly help build courage, self-belief, and focus. Children become nature explorers on a guided Nature Trail, visit a peaceful Sacred Grove, and hike to the stunning Kusur Valley Viewpoint, where they can see the origin of the Pej River and the imposing Dhak Bahiri Fort.
The camp also includes refreshing Water Activities like Kayaking and Swimming (with life jackets) and an engaging Star Gazing session that opens up the wonders of the night sky.
By the end of the camp, children gain essential teamwork, leadership, and safety skills, become more independent and self-reliant, and return home with new friendships and unforgettable memories from the heart of nature.
