Summer Camp Grand Finale at Indus World School

Summer camps are an opportunity for kids to learn, make new friends and share new adventures. Indus World School had organized a summer camp Bonanza in the school premises between 16^th April to 30^thApril, 2012. The Grand Finale was held on 30^th April’12.

 With 2^nd year of excellence, IWS summer camp maintained a low ratio for added safety and fun. During the camp we integrated a review of exploring and enhancing their vocabulary, visualising numbers through basic concepts of Vedic math, music, dance, art and craft activities keeping in mind that children are on vacation and fun is a must. The above activities were designed keeping in mind the skills required for the 21^st, century.

The Summer Camp gave all the children the opportunity to push boundaries to explore the world around them and to imagine their own greatest possibilities. Campers were asked to step out of their usual comfort zones as they learnt how to live amicably with others. They developed important life skills, independence, honesty, helpfulness and self-esteem because they lived with children from different schools and learnt to get along with the peers and respect one another. IWS is a place where all the kids are valued no matter what their talents or differences are.

Children took part in a combination of challenging multiple activities with stimulating mental abilities in the fields such as arts, crafts language, music, dance, and Vedic maths. It also groomed their unexplored hidden talents and personalities. Kids benefited through their own effort, they learnt and grew from the experience.

“It was indeed remarkable to see these children settle down so well and become comfortable with all of us. They were all open to the given opportunities and have done extremely well during the camp. We at Indus believe that every child is unique and blessed with lot of skills. The need of the hour is to give opportunities to them and let them discover their hidden talents and showcase them” said Head Mistress Ms. Namita Parathasarty. 

The activities done by the campers during the summer camp were put for display and sale, the proceeds of the same were donated to,”Navjeevan Society for Research and Rehabilitation of the Mentally Retarded”.
