It provided the right mix of fun and new challenges for the students. The
students enjoyed the magic of camp. Till recently, ‘Summer holidays’ simply meant finishing homework and a visit to
the grandparents’ homes. However, this summer proved to be an excellent
opportunity to brush up social and communicative skills allowing students to be
more open about their thoughts and feelings. They also taught us adults much
about laughter, hope, and energy.
Students of classes IX and X truly immersed themselves in the activities. They had
an amazing online summer Camp!! They learnt so much- Indoor-Games,
Pranayama, Exercises, Geographical facts, Fun with Mathematics, Sketching and
Painting, Performing Arts and Artificial Intelligence.Other important values that
were emphasised through our summer camp activities include developing a love
for learning, being resilient, reconnecting with nature and learning social skills.

to our volunteers and staff for their commitment to creating opportunities for
young people.
Your attitude is in your hand. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and
you shall form an invincible host against difficulties. Isaiah 43:2 says -
“When you go through deep waters I will be with you.”
So,take a leap of faith and be structured enough for success and
achievement and flexible enough for creativity and fun.
When the summer ends, monsoon will arrive, acknowledge the changing
nature of the world. Adapt and be with the flow of uncertainties. Never
underestimate the power you have to take your life in a new direction.
Stretch the limits of the possible by venturing a little more into the impossible
because if you fail to push your limits you will suffocate in your own comfort
zones.
