The Summit Scholars Himalayan Summer Camp is an outdoor adventure program crafted for children aged 8-16 years to give them an excellent experience in the Himalayas. The camp combines trekking, camping, and nature exploration with activities that teach essential life skills like teamwork, resilience, decision-making, and basic outdoor survival. Children get to connect with the natural environment, engage in fun group games, learn practical skills such as tent pitching, map reading, and first aid, and enjoy moments like stargazing and village walks. Every activity is planned to make learning enjoyable, helping children grow in confidence, independence, and a love for nature while having all the fun in the mountains.

The camps are held at two beautiful base locations in Uttarakhand: Natin for the Dayara Bugyal Summer Camp and Sankri for the Kedarkantha Summer Camp. Both treks are specially chosen for kids, as they are very beautiful and beginner-friendly treks for children. The locations provide a safe and natural environment where kids can learn, explore, and enjoy outdoor activities.

The camp is mainly for children aged 8–16 years. We have selected two treks for kids: Dayara Bugyal is suitable for ages 8–13 years, while Kedarkantha is ideal for ages 10–16 years.

The day begins around 6:AM with morning tea, followed by breakfast and health check up. All the days are designed differently with variant activities. The days are planned with trekking, and learning sessions. Sometimes the evenings are planned with stargazing, where other days include skill building sessions where kids learn outdoor skills like how to use a sleeping bag and basic first aid.
Around 5:30 PM, kids will enjoy evening soup and snacks. Morning and evening health check-up is constant to monitor every child’s well being. At 7:00 PM dinner is served and by 8:30 PM, kids settle into their tents for the night.

Children should pack all the important essentials like trekking shoes, warm layers, rain gear, comfortable trek pants, T-shirts, toiletries, reusable water bottles, and a backpack. We have made a packing list of all the important essentials, you can check it here: check here
We also have a rental option, if you don't prefer to buy all the clothing or gears. You can rent them from the TTH Rent-a-Gear section for about one-tenth of the price. Rental Gear Section link: Rent-a-Gear

Tents are assigned based on age and gender to make children feel comfortable and safe. Friends are grouped together whenever possible, but children are encouraged to interact and build new friendships.

These treks are very beginner-friendly and do not require any prior experience. Many children in the 8–16 age group often take part in these treks. Both the Dayara Bugyal and Kedarkantha treks are specially chosen for their easy routes and the extremely beautiful Himalayan experience.

The Summit Scholars Himalayan Summer Camp 2026 is designed with all the life skills and personal growth activities. Children will get a chance to explore the Himalayas through trekking and connecting with nature. They will play team games, learn outdoor skills like basic first aid, tent pitching, and camping techniques. All the activities are specially designed for kids so they can learn so many things just in excitement and while having fun.

Every child will learn new skills while having a lot of fun. Our main aim is to make sure learning happens naturally. With our designed activities and games, kids will learn teamwork, resilience, decision-making, and outdoor survival basics such as packing, pitching tents, and map reading.

Parents need not to worry about anything. Campsites are very secure, and all the safety protocols are followed. The instructors supervise all the children and activities, and kids follow a buddy system. We also have doctors available at the base camps and an emergency team throughout the trek. All activities are supervised, and children are never left unattended.

Children are supervised by trek leaders and instructors. We follow a ratio of 1 instructor for every 5 children. Instructors are trained in outdoor leadership, first aid, and child care. Female instructors are also present to support every kid, especially girls for comfort and support.

It’s normal for children to feel homesick, and we make sure our team is present there to provide comfort. Our team is trained to handle such situations with care. Children are encouraged to share their feelings, and our leaders engage them in fun activities, group games, and team-building exercises to help them feel comfortable and confident. Children adapt quickly and feel comfortable within the first couple of days.

All our trek leaders are certified in first aid and wilderness safety. A doctor is stationed at the base camp, and emergency transport is always ready if required. Each campsite has a dedicated medical tent, and first aid kits are available at all times. Our team is trained to handle minor injuries, altitude-related issues, or any emergencies promptly, so parents can be confident about their child’s well-being throughout the camp.

At base camps, children stay in guesthouses with separate arrangements for boys and girls. While on the trail, they share three-person expedition tents equipped with sleeping bags and liners.

TTH is first known for its safety and second for providing the most amazing food in the Himalayas. The meals are vegetarian, simple, and nutritious, including roti, dal, rice, and vegetables. We also have options for Jain and vegan food, which are available on request.

Yes, clean and safe water is provided at the base camps and along the trek routes. Children are also encouraged to carry reusable water bottles to stay hydrated throughout the day.

Parents can not join the children’s summer camp as the program is designed specifically for kids to develop independence, confidence, and social skills in an outdoor setting. However, parents can join our Family with Kids batches, which are specially designed programs where families can experience the adventure together while still enjoying age-appropriate activities for children.
