“Travel opens a mind more than any book can ever do”
DEVA Farms - One Day Excursion
It has been quite rightly said that the heart of education lies in education of the heart. And a child’s heart not only seeks knowledge but also yearns for fun and frolic as well as learning through experience of new and exciting things, places and people. Keeping in mind the overlall development of the students, the school provided the students a rejuvenating break from their hectic and monotonous routine through excursion. Keeping in view the above, the students of classes VI to XII were taken to Deva Farms at G T Karnal Bypass in Delhi on 19th December 2019 for a one day excursion. This delightful trip in the lap of nature enriched the lives of the students.
DEVA [Delhi ECO Village and Adventure] offered a series of village, sports and recreational activities. A warm welcome awaited the children followed by a finger licking breakfast after which they were taken for plethora of Adventure Activities like Burma bridge, zip wire, dry river crossing, rappelling, commando net, rope ladder, tunnel crossing, balance beam, spider web and zorbing. After a hearty lunch, children had an overview of creative and domestic village activities like a walk through nature, Potter’s wheel, camel ride, tractor ride, chaupal chakki and village cooking. Apart from all this, the live DJ session kept our young audience entertained and energized throughout the day. The students were overjoyed at the thought of giving themselves a break for some adventure. Students excitedly explored the beautiful rural setting of the activities planned for them. Students were given detailed instructions by the instructors regarding their conduct throughout the camp.
It was a fruitful experience for children since learning was incorporated with fun and entertainment. They thoroughly enjoyed this day with their peer, returning to the school with wonderful memories and a rejuvenated spirit. Overall, it was an outing that made the students confident, courageous and to a great extent assisted them to conquer their fears. They will always remember this day and will certainly nurture these experiences for their lifetime. It was indeed a wonderful day filled with fun and frolic for all.
A picnic is more than eating a meal, it is a pleasurable state of mind. It was indeed a day to remember!
