Notably, the first season was a great success with participation of 150 kids from different parts of the country. The guardians of the kids who participated in the first season were of the view that the course design was completely unique and noble while the sessions on mountaineering, first aid and environment were very enriching for kids.
TSAF has been conducting virtual programmes to keep kids busy in Covid times. It had conducted virtual lessons to help children between the ages of 5-9 remain tuned to sport climbing while at home last year. Wooden boards called ‘monkey boards’ measuring 2x2 ft were handed over to the children and fixed at their respective homes. The activity was aimed at strengthening the hands and core muscles of the kids.
The adventure outfit also conducted a virtual programme for school students last month with the aim to motivate and keep them engaged in the comfort of their homes.
