Our Program Overview

School Programs at Kithulgala

Junior School Programs

Our Junior School Programs are designed for young students in school groups. Borderlands provides a soft entry into the world of outdoor living and adventure activities.

Youth Leadership Programs

Our program offers an exciting series of workshops and outdoor activities to help develop confidence outside of the classroom, enabling students to find unique abilities within themselves and encourages them to use these skills once they leave Borderlands. 

Week without Walls

By offering authentic, outside-the-classroom experiences, this program takes students outside their usual comfort zones by exposing them to new situations in a totally different cultural environment. 

Youth Expeditions

In our expeditions students learn the basics of wilderness camping: Under our guidance, students are responsible for setting up camp, cooking all meals and general camp chores. The expeditions are an excellent place for students to gain teamwork and leadership experience.

Learning from Adventure

Our programs focus on building confidence, teamwork, and resilience through safe, hands-on outdoor experiences by the sea.

From coastal exploration and snorkeling to Seak kayaking and marine discovery, our internationally certified guides lead groups of up to 90 students on exciting adventures along the shoreline and on the open water.

Stay by the Coast

The students stay at our coastal eco lodge by the ocean, where we take them on adventures along the shoreline and out on the water itself. We provide a safe and comfortable stay in our communal dorms for the students and have private cabins for the teaching staff. We value balanced, delicious meals and source our ingredients locally from nearby coastal communities.

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.
