Within the heart of Nuvali lies “Camp N”, touted to be the eco-city’s premier outdoor adventure and team-building facility that serves as an incubation for self-discovery through obstacles and challenges testing one’s physical limits, mental abilities, and even character and values. Located just south of Manila, Camp N is convenient for bonding among coworkers, families, and friends looking for active fun this summer season.
“We
designed Camp N in such a way that outdoor play and self-discovery are
integrated seamlessly so people can enjoy bonding while being surrounded
by nature.

Camp N’s philosophy— expressed through providing people
outdoor amenities where one can commune, learn, grow, and interact
socially— jive perfectly with the sustainable philosophy of Nuvali being
an eco-community,” said John Estacio, Nuvali general manager.
Entrance to Camp N is at Ecology Avenue, Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna. |
Camp N’s thrills-based and skills-based facilities include the Adventure Tower, which has the biggest rollercoaster zipline in Asia, as well as free fall, wall climbing, and rappelling facilities. The Obstacle Course has three challenge levels from basic to advanced, encompassing a broad spectrum of skill levels. The Aerial Walk is a series of rope-based challenges set high in the air. The High and Low Rope Initiatives is a series of balancing platforms and tightropes set just a little above ground and requires the participation of small groups.
On April 16, 2016 (Saturday), Camp N will be the venue for the first leg of the “AXN Ultimate Thrill 2016”, a multi-stage adventure race similar to The Amazing Race, also popularized by the AXN network. Adventurers will go through intense obstacle challenges in Camp N and the first 20 finishers will head to Boracay for the final round. Only 200 teams from Manila may join the AXN Ultimate Thrill 2016. Registration is through the AXN website.

The
presence of Camp N provides the community a convenient outdoor
adventure stop. For Nuvali’s existing communities, it’s a fun learning
camp within the neighborhood where they can take their kids out to play
and learn. As Camp N evolves further, there will be more activities that
will develop their physical and creative skills all within the comfort
of nature,” added Estacio.
