Schools that Trust Us for Their IAYP Adventurous Journey
Why Choose InSOUL for your Adventurous Journey?
Much like the IAYP, we believe in the power of the outdoors to challenge young people, build their leadership skills, and leave them with learnings they will carry forward into adulthood.
Our existing programmes naturally align with the IAYP AJ requirements, making it possible for independent participants to join our Outdoor Learning Programmes on treks.
At the Indiahikes School of Outdoor Learning (InSOUL), we uphold all IAYP Adventurous Journey requirements with utmost integrity.
As a Trained Activity Provider since 2023, our team includes certified award leaders who play a crucial role in programme design, coordination, and ensuring that everyone involved in the Adventurous Journey deeply understands the ethos of IAYP.
With 12 years of experience designing immersive outdoor experiences we assign our most experienced facilitators to guide the journey. Participants engage in purposeful trekking, skill-building, and meaningful reflection, making their experience truly transformative.
An Adventurous Journey with InSOUL offers much more than a checklist of activities to fulfill the IAYP requirements. It is an experience that will leave a lasting impact on participants’ approach to challenges, collaboration, and personal growth.
