About Our Green Panther Tribe
It started with a simple wish to see kids swap screens for streams. Today, that vision is carried forward by our founder, Shruti Jha, and our naturalist, Arun Kaulige, who turn every trail into a classroom. Whether it is finding 23 bird species or learning to build a campfire, they make sure your kids aren't just watching nature, but living it.
Building a Childhood of Stories
We aren't just a camp provider. We are a tribe of parents, educators, and naturalists who grew tired of the typical mall-and-screen weekend cycle. We saw a gap in how urban children interact with the outdoors, and we decided to fill it with mud, rain, and campfire stories.
Our Guiding Philosophy
Shruti Jha, our founder, started this with a deep love for biology and a personal drive to connect her own child with the wild. That foundation is exactly what you find at our events. We believe nature-based play should be accessible and inclusive.
Our naturalist, Arun Kaulige, brings years of experience in natural farming and ecology to every trek. He ensures that our nature walks are not just scenic strolls but deep dives into local flora and fauna. He has a knack for turning a child’s fear of bees into fascination, which is a core part of what we do.
Why We Do It
- Inclusivity: We believe every child deserves to be a junior naturalist. We actively adapt our camps for children with special needs because the forest doesn't judge, and neither do we.
- Experience Over Extravagance: We choose butterflies over balloons. You won't find fancy decorations at our events, but you will find clean tents, safe trails, and genuine engagement.
- Community: Our events in Bengaluru, Pune, and Mumbai are designed to help families meet like-minded people. We want you to head home with a heart full of memories and a new group of friends who value the same wild world that we do.
From our firefly night camps to our weekend family survival workshops, everything we plan aims to build confidence and curiosity. We are here to help your kids collect muddy memories instead of screen time.
