i)Trekking
Human relationships with society and nature are becoming alien. It is also necessary to implement a variety of activities that promote adventure to address the problems faced by the present generation and overcome the crises. It has become a common sight to lose friendships and commit suicide after getting addicted to alcohol and drugs as soon as they finish their school and college education. To overcome this situation, the main thing that needs to be done is to develop organized power. Developing personality, leadership qualities and the ability to face problems can be beneficial for personal and national progress. Therefore, the trekking project, an adventure programme that nurtures such features, will help in building a new society. By trekking, exercise, which is an excellent means of improving human health, not only helps in building a healthy society but also helps in getting to know nature and the environment intimately.The hardships and uncertainties faced during the journey help in inculcating unity, selflessness, discipline, national consciousness, unity and effort among the passengers. In this context, the Kerala State Youth Welfare Board organizing trekking through the National Adventure Academy will help in attracting and encouraging more young men and women into the sector and creating an opportunity to compete at the state and national level in the field of mountaineering.Under the aegis of The National Adventure Academy, Munnar and Kannur, trekking can be organized to the trekking points of Kerala such as Meeshapulimala, Chemprakodumudi, Kolukkumala, Paithalmala, Dharmadom Thuruthu, Ranipuram, Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary and Kanjirakolli. The team will be accompanied by trekking instructors, forest guards and nursing assistants. Rope adventure activities and environmental protection classes can be organized at the trekking site.
ii)Adventure Camp:-
As part of inculcating an adventurous spirit among the youth, an adventure camp is being organized for the youth, which includes training in rope adventure items, which are hand-based items belonging to adventure items, as part of the formulation and implementation of a number of projects. Apart from rope adventure items, the adventure camp also includes items such as yoga, first aid, disaster management class, personality development class and adventure games.Two adventure academies under the Board are organizing a three-day adventure camp in two batches involving 20 youth selected from each district of Kerala. The training in the southern districts of Kerala can be conducted at the Munnar and Devikulam Adventure Academy and the training in the remaining 7 northern districts can be conducted at Kannur and Kanhangad Indoor Park. Rope adventure items such as Burma Bridge, River Valley Crossing, Sping Valley Crossing, Commando Net, Flying Fox/Zipline, Jumering, Rappelling, Tyre Valley Crossing and MonkeyColling.280 youth of the state will benefit from this scheme.
iii)Adventure Carnival:-
It is necessary to encourage adventure in order to face the problems faced by the present generation and to overcome the crises. Therefore, by promoting adventure-promoting events and creating a healthy and psychological mind of the generation, the younger generation needs to be actively involved in the nation-building process, in addition to book studies. It is a novel experience for the youth to make available adventure entertainment programmes such as hot air balloon paragliding, parasailing and water adventure items, which are not regularly available to the public and are charged a hefty amount, through the Adventure Entertainment Festival of the Kerala State Youth Welfare Board. There are two zones in the north of Kannur district at Muzhappilangad Payyambalam beach. In the south, a paramotor show can be organized at Velikayal in Thiruvananthapuram, water adventure events, Sasthamkotta lake, Vagamon in Idukki district or Paithalmala in Kannur, and hot air balloon mela can be organized in any one of the four cities of Kerala.

iv)Archery Training:-
It is disappointing that at a time when archery, which is a part of history, has now reached the Olympics, there is no representation of players from Kerala. By providing archery training as a concentration-enhancing adventure for the young men and women who have lost their friendship immediately after school and college and are addicted to alcohol and drugs on social media, they will be able to overcome this situation, develop a healthy mind, body and bring representation in district, state and national level competitions. The training is being conducted in 3 phases (September, December and April) in 2 districts (priority for tribal areas in Wayanad and Idukki districts). 180 youth of the state will benefit from this scheme.
