Summer Camps Focusing More On Technical Skills Now

Summer camps have become an old school because academicians have found out the other way out to direct the students' energy from physical activities to mind games.

It is known for fun and activities where children learn arts activities, dance, pottery and many other things. However, the time has changed now so the activities.

The summer camps have transformed completely from fun activities to leadership skills such as summer leadership programme, STEM and Robotics Camps, Summer School (language programme), young leaders and many others.

The camps are carefully designed with concept-driven learning to ignite the interest and inquisitiveness in children towards innovations and problem-solving skills, at the same time giving them a much needed early exposure.
