Camp Details
Camp Rani Chauri is situated at a height of 2,000 meters above sea level at Rani Chauri on a sprawling 6 acres apple orchard inside gated GB Pant University campus at a distance of 70 kms from Rishikesh/55 kms from Mussoorie. The camp offers a stunning and breathtaking view of the mighty Himalayas. Approx 300 fruit trees will give you a company during your stay at the camp and a dense Oak forest will be your next door neighbor. The camp is far off from the main tourist map; so you can be sure of an isolated yet refreshing and rejuvenating action packed time amidst natures bounty. Our camp also offers a great opportunity to avid bird watchers. For people interested in agri-research, nearby experimentation fields of GB Pantnagar can be an eye opener for the amount of research and thought that goes into improving the food security of our country. A met department observatory can help your kids understand the working of Indian Met Department.

2. UTOPIA FAMILY PROGRAM-THE CONCEPT"For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." Aristotle.
"Utopia 4 family" is an Option Oriented flexible program offering designed to suit the needs and tastes of a family willing to take an outdoor trip. While staying in midst of best that the nature has to offer, the family can craft their own day out of the various available options available in the list of choice- adventure activities as listed under Annexure 1. The overarching theme of our offering is "back to nature" and it seeks to establish a "green connect" between a family and the environment. While the primary objective of this unique program is to deepen the bonding and affection amongst the participating family members, the curriculum is presented in an exciting hands-on format which includes fun group activities for all ages and activity levels. The most loved activity of this program is the time that a family gets to spend together on its own. Adventure based programs entails the direct involvement of the participants in activities, not necessarily outdoors, that pose challenges of varying degree before them and have an element of real or perceived psychological or/and physical risk risks that are negated through the program safety measures. Once faced with these challenges, they bring about the elicited behavioral changes and have sustained impact through isomorphic (reflection of one thing on another) connections.

3. THE PROCESS
The proposed program is focused around exposing participants to the green environment in a rural setting for a rejuvenating experience. The fundamental part of the program lays special importance on the life outside the realm of big cities, with adventure as a theme. Satisfaction and fun are subjective; aligning our offering on this principal, our program participants will have the flexibility to choose from the list of choice to attain the desired quotient of satisfaction while having the chosen fun. The participants can choose from the list of choice and design their day and their stay. UOI will ensure the required facilitation at all levels. We place the participants in the highest order and to this end we ensure The participants are monitored during the entire duration of the program. All our essential equipments are of international standards with the accent on safe gear, we use UIAA and CE certified equipments. We draw upon the strengths of those experienced in the trade. Trained professional, qualified from the mountaineering institutes are called upon to help conduct these activities.

4. OBJECTIVE
The program in intended to ensure that while the participating members have an out and out exhilarating time, the family enjoys and bonds as a unit. In the process of enjoying the various options, the activity content is intended to ensure that the family members appreciate, admire each other and deepen their bond. The list of choice will ensure that individual fun is compounded by family satisfaction, to deliver one of the most memorable outdoor trips.
