Take your students out of their comfort zone in a safe environment

Learning from Adventure

We offer junior school programs for younger students, youth leadership programs and a week without walls. All of our programs focus on building confidence as a team in a safe learning outdoor environment. From river rafting to discovering prehistoric caves our internationally certified guides take groups of up to 90 students on adventures in the surrounding area.

Stay in the Jungle

The students stay in our jungle eco lodge on the Kelani river where we take them on adventures in the hills and on the river itself. We provide a safe stay in our dorms for the students and have private cabins for the teaching staff. We value balanced, delicious meals and source our ingredients locally.

Give Back to the Local Community

We incorporate community service into almost all our school programs. These experiences can have a profound impact on a young persons perspective of the world and is often an unexpected highlight during our programs. We work with local village schools to provide water systems, re-roofing, computer labs and more. All planning, staffing, and administration costs are donated by Borderlands.
