Moodabidri: The campers at the International Cultural Jamboree of Scouts and Guides here are being introduced to adventure sports along with training on developing self-confidence, following eco-friendliness, and building morale.

Around 100 types of adventure games and activities are being held in the ‘Challenge Valley’ constructed in the hilly area behind Alva’s Primary School in Vivekananda Nagar for this purpose.

Young campers were seen facing their fears and overcoming them while performing physically demanding yet thrilling tasks including balancing beam walk, plank climbing, monkey bridge, wide ladder climbing, tire balance walking, monkey crawling, ladder crossing, and swinging plank.
