About Youreka
Youreka (est. 1996) and Inme (est. 2008) got together in 2019 and made the
combined Inme – Youreka entity both India’s oldest and largest outdoor
adventure based organisation. The Youreka brand focuses on our schools work
and the Inme brand on our open summer programs.

The founders of inmi youreka are alumni of XLRI and INSEAD, who seasoned
entrepreneurs, educationists, authors, behavioural science professionals, and
pioneers of organised outdoor education in India.

Youreka offers an alternative to traditional school trips by providing engaging

and meaningful outdoor adventure based learning. We learn best when we take
charge of our own learning thus building a culture of so self-disciplined
leadership.

Youreka outclass programs create experiences where students build both a

mindset and skills to foster such a culture while enhancing social consciousness
and school spirit. We create real situations where emotions are heightened and
the challenges pushes students to solve problems on their own. Inme - Youreka
has worked with 1,00,000+ children across 700+ schools in past 23 years.

Day In The Life Of An Outclass Participant

Wake Up

students u before the wake-up call playing football or
simply enjoying the campus.

Milk, Biscuits, Tea awaits the children at the Chota

Hazri where they catch up with friends and the
instructors as they gear up for an active day ahead.

7:00AM
Power Up
Participants stretch, push, pull and jump themselves
out of any laziness in a fun and memorable way.
Although these are just warm up exercises, there is a
very good chance that you will hear them humming
the rhymes and stretching out their bodies even after
they return!
8:00AM
Breakfast
Students load up on breakfast planned with a view of
providing enough energy to them for their outdoor
pursuits. Instructors ensure that some of the ‘diet
conscious’ adventurers eat in sufficient quantities. No
one slips out of their watchful eye!

8:45AM
Wonderful Outdoor World (WOW) Activities
Students are divided into sub groups for various
outdoor experiences chosen for them based on the
program’s learning objectives. Each outdoor activity
has a defined curriculum and
is led by a team of experts.

WOW Activities
Emotional and physical wellbeing of our students is
our top priority when making decision on campus.

other learning initiatives therefore varies based on
program, location and weather conditions during any

dish is gulab- jamun, fruit cream or the shahitukda!

Golden Slumber
It usually does not take students long to hit the sack post-

wonderful feeling to see all the students in great spirits,
slowly switching the lights off in their tents.

The sharing sessions that follow our Outbound experiences center
around individual experiences, struggle, exhilaration, group
support, and personal realizations. Our skilled instructors use
emotional stimulus created during the adventure to deliver
powerful learning moments.

Safety Protocols
All our outdoor learning campuses are child-centric, located and designed keeping in
mind student safety and well-being.
Safety First: All decisions for travel and activities are taken with the “Safety First”
principle. At no time will we take a decision that compromises the safety and wellbeing
of students.
Medical Facilities: We have a Doctor or a Paramedic on all our campuses and also have
a tie up with local hospitals. Our Instructors are trained in wilderness emergency first
aid. Medicines and emergency equipment (for example Nebulizer, Anti venom, sutures
etc.) is available at campus.
Insurance: Everybody on the campus is covered by a comprehensive medical insurance
inclusive of air evacuation.
Emergencies: An emergency vehicle is available on campus 24*7. In case of an
emergency, information & updates are passed immediately and regularly to all concerned
parties (School, Parents and Office).
Medical Information: Each student’s medical history is taken in advance so that we
are fully aware of even the smallest issue a participant may face on campus (allergies,
any kind of disorder, other medical issues, blood group etc.).
 Transport: All vehicles used comply with our strict standards. Alternate movement and
evacuation routes are charted out for each of our campuses. If overnight travel by bus,
there will be two drivers per bus
