Yercaud discover program is a 6-day experience run at our Yercaud campus. The program helps children step out of their comfort zone and develop life skills. In 2021 summer, this program will have limited capacity. And all participants will take part in the adventure activities under the care of trained outdoor instructors.

This program might be more demanding than the usual physical activities you’re used to. We recommend a little jogging, stretching and exercise a few weeks before the departure to gain the flexibility and agility needed to truly enjoy the experience. Do this wearing the shoes you want to carry for the program—it’ll help break into them.
