With the conclusion of annual school examinations, numerous organizations and institutions are gearing up to host summer camps aimed at providing children with enriching extra-curricular activities. Emphasizing the nurturing of creative instincts, these camps offer a wide array of experiences spanning sports, arts, music, dance, theatre, scientific exploration, and outdoor adventures.
Prarthana, an organizer in Manikonda, highlighted the importance of allowing children to step away from screens and engage in physical and mental activities that promote their overall well-being. She stated, “Summer camps provide a platform for children to rediscover the joy of being kids while also fostering healthier habits.”
In response to the growing demand for online alternatives, some institutes have introduced virtual camp sessions, ensuring accessibility for all children regardless of location.
Meanwhile, sports organizations are readying their facilities and equipment for summer camp activities. A staffer from YMCA Narayanguda revealed plans for indoor and outdoor camps offering a diverse range of sports such as basketball, table tennis, cricket, chess, volleyball, badminton, gymnastics, martial arts, and kickboxing, catering to children aged six to 15 years.
Echoing the sentiment, A. Deepak from a swimming pool in Secunderabad emphasized the high demand for swimming instructors, as parents seek opportunities for their children to learn this essential skill.
Overall, these summer camps not only provide a space for exploration and enjoyment but also serve as valuable educational platforms where children can acquire new skills and knowledge.
