YMCA International Camp, Nilshi, India

The site aims to provide camping & outdoor experiences that develop self-reliance and resourcefulness in a fun, learning environment.

The campsite is run by the YMCA of Bombay,[1] and a team consisting of adventure experts and locally hired support staff.

This wilderness retreat is used by outdoor development experts for environmental and experiential learning, adventure sports, for corporate executive training, youth leadership building and conference programs, for summer and Diwali camp programs, by social workers for informal education of local under-privileged children, and for spiritual/church retreats.

Most of the habitable areas are underground, tucked into the hillside, reducing the need for energy-driven air conditioning, while maintaining the original green ground coverage.

In 2022-23, it was decided to add a support column for this tensile cover, given the high speed winds prevalent sometimes during the yearly monsoon period.
