Campsites

STEP collaborates with adventure camps across the country to provide its clients location specific programs. We conduct a detailed survey of any campsite along with partnering only with service providers with adequate experience and practicing highest quality standards in adventure camping.

We have been successfully running programs in North, South and West of India. Some of the locations we use quite often are:

• Shivpuri, Chamba, Bhimtaal, Nainital, Corbett in Uttranchal
• Shogi, Tirthan in Himachal
• Dumduma winter camp in Haryana
• Jungle resorts on the Kaveri river in Karnataka
• Vikramgarh, Durshet, Murud in Maharashtra

Outbound Training is most powerful when it is facilitated in the wilderness. However, the objective of our training is not to cause discomfort by removing necessities, it is only to strip us of our luxuries. All the facilities we use for our training offer facilities that combine basic necessities with a rustic atmosphere. The sites have amenities like proper toilets with running water, tented accommodation, lanterns and catering facilities to ensure a comfortable and safe stay.

Technical Expertise

For all outdoor development programs, the importance of quality instructors and equipment is most critical. STEP prides itself in its technical skills and expertise in which we make no compromise. Our technical team is a set of highly skills mountaineers with knowledge and experience in adventure for over 10 years.

The importance of safe and good quality equipment and gear cannot be undermined in any outdoor adventure program. For this reason, we maintain our own equipment like specialized static and dynamic ropes, harnesses, karabiners, ascenders, descenders, life jackets and helmets, climbing mittens, etc. The equipment is carefully chosen and tested by our outdoor experts before it is approved for use in the field thereby ensuring total safety.

Safety

Safety has been the overriding concern in all the practical exercises. This is particularly true in the outdoor, where the potential for danger is often higher. Even when the tasks are relatively innocuous, there is always some risk. People can do or attempt to do strange things under the pressure of an outdoor learning event.

You may therefore find some of our safety guidelines pedantic or petty. We make no apologies towards it; rather we would point to our successful safety record. In the final analysis, the OUTBOUND is a medium for management development, not for generating danger, fear or excitement.
