After the month-long examinations, the much awaited summer holidays have finally arrived. However, the definition of summer vacation seems to vary among children.
Trying to provide a stress-free break, parents are now occupied tracking summer camps to help engage their children productively for a few hours during holidays. Some feel that vacation is meant to rejuvenate and revive old hobbies while others plan to visit their hometown and catch up with cousins and friends. To suit your tailor-made needs, the city has come alive with a host of summer camps.
From dancing sessions to cultural programmes, western music to hip-hop and art and craft workshop to story sessions, one can get to see endless options to choose. However, identifying what the child likes and giving her an exposure to discover her passion play an imperative role, suggests T. Aruna, a parent.
