As the dreaded examinations crawl to a halt, students look forward to the much

awaited “creative outlets”, the summer camps to let off steam and spend their

holidays. A summer camp is conducted over a short period of four to five weeks

involving interesting and fun-filled activities. The colourful spectrum of summer

camps provides a wide variety of activities which include artistic skills such as

painting, origami, art, music, craft and also spoken English, cookery and

computer courses. Not only this, the summer camps keep the child “fit as a

fiddle” by imparting lessons in yoga, cricket, tennis and swimming.

With changing, times and trends parents have become productivity oriented.

They want their children to learn through productive play unlike in the past when

play just played. Today, the parents want to tap the potential of their children to

the fullest. To achieve this aim, the summer camps afford an ideal opening for

children to develop their hobbies and talents. The importance of creative play is

often underestimated whereas the fact is that art and craft projects can excite

even a young child’s imagination and promote a sense of great achievement.

The little things that children make and take home give them a sense of

achievement and pride when they show them to their parents.

Summer camps develop a child’s confidence and his ideas. They also encourage

children to do things on their own. The camps are beneficial for hyperactive and

aggressive children as they help channel their energies fruitfully by drawing out

the best in them. They also promote mutual understanding not only among

teachers and children but also bring about an interaction between the taught.

This provides a good experience for a better future—a future of confidence.
