Nuvali summer camp

Camp N, a premier outdoor adventure and team-building hub, promotes self-discovery through obstacles and challenges that test one’s physical limits, mental abilities and even character and values.

Camp N’s facilities include the Adventure Tower, which has the biggest roller coaster zip line in Asia, as well as free fall, wall climbing and rappelling. The Obstacle Course has three challenge levels from basic to advanced. The Aerial Walk is a series of rope-based challenges set high in the air. The High and Low Rope Initiatives are a series of balancing platforms and tightropes set  above ground, and require the participation of small groups.

“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,” said John Estacio, Nuvali general manager.

Located in the heart of Nuvali, Camp N is easily accessible. To get to Nuvali,  take any of the five South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) exits at Mamplasan, Sta. Rosa, Eton-Greenfield, Silangan and Canlubang. One can also take public transportation to Nuvali via major centers like Makati, Bonifacio Global City and Balibago.
