School Camping Packages Shimla – Student Outdoor Retreats at Redwood Camp

Guided Nature & Ridge Trekking

Explore natural hillside trails through pine and deodar forests surrounding the Junga valley. Local guides lead students safely along gentle gradients while introducing native Himalayan flora, terrain navigation, and outdoor awareness.

Team Lawn Sports & Physical Games

The campsite features open spaces equipped for friendly inter-house matches: badminton, volleyball, and casual box cricket. Physical outdoor play builds social bonds and gets students off their digital devices.

Evening Bonfire & Interactive Sessions

Evenings gather around a crackling campfire under clear Himalayan skies. Accompanied by hot evening snacks and tea, this is the perfect time for student talent shows, poetry recitals, star identification, and debriefing sessions.

Indoor Strategy & Board Games

For afternoon downtime or weather intervals, our common recreation space provides chess, carrom boards, ludo, and playing cards for mental strategy, focus, and quiet team play.

Hygienic Dining Hall & Balanced Meals

Wholesome nutrition is essential for active students. Our kitchen prepares balanced, mildly spiced vegetarian and non-vegetarian buffet meals, fresh salads, lentils, seasonal vegetables, and warm milk/tea.

Shimla & Kufri Educational Excursions

Organizers can combine camp life with historical and geographical excursions: visit the historic Viceregal Lodge, Christ Church on the Ridge, Jakhoo Temple, or the Himalayan Nature Park at Kufri.
