Overview
Curious Nomads: The Addakal Outdoor Leadership Experience
A 2-Day Nature Camp for Students to Build Courage, Curiosity, and Connection
In a world of constant screens, tight schedules, and rigid classrooms, our children need more than just textbooks to thrive—they need experiences.
Welcome to Curious Nomads: Addakal, a 2-day immersive outdoor leadership camp designed specifically for school-aged children (5–18 years). Set at The Outdoor Project (TOP)—a lush eco-campsite near Hyderabad—this program uses experiential learning, nature immersion, and adventure activities to unlock students’ potential.
From lighting their first fire to rappelling down rocks, every child will return with more confidence, sharper focus, stronger friendships, and unforgettable memories.
With experienced facilitators, certified instructors, and round-the-clock safety measures, this is an adventure parents trust—and kids will never forget.

At Addakal, we blend adventure-based learning, survival skills, and nature immersion to create a program that’s as educational as it is unforgettable.

Shelter-building, fire-making, outdoor cooking, and bushcraft
Navigation games, knots and hitches, and wilderness safety
Birdwatching, storytelling, and reflection circles under the stars
All activities are designed using inquiry-based and project-based learning, encouraging students to ask, explore, reflect, and lead.
What They’ll Learn:
- Leadership & Confidence – Step into responsibility, lead peers, and develop self-trust
- Risk & Resilience – Face outdoor challenges and learn how to stay safe, calm, and adaptable
- Problem-Solving – Tackle real-world tasks requiring communication and strategy
- Teamwork & Inclusion – Work in diverse groups, respect roles, and build bonds
