Summer holidays are no more about fun-filled capers and lazy afternoons... there is a whole lot of work for the li’l kidos to do!
The memories of waking up early to catch up with friends, or at times lazing around the entire day at home with grandparents and siblings, or just dillydallying and reading umpteen comic books and postponing homework for the last days of the vacation, bring to mind the forgotten pleasures of summer holidays, cherished forever by all adults. But vacations for children these days aren’t quite the same anymore, as gaining popularity is a new ‘method’ of spending them – summer camps! Today, the desire of parents to make their kid an all-rounder is stronger than ever, and parents want to expose their children to a lot more than what a school does, that too as early as possible. “Apart from a good basic education, we want our 4-year-old daughter to excel at sports, maybe tennis, and have an edge over the rest. That’s why, we were very particular while selecting a school for her. Summer camps or activities are a great way of introducing them to several things. In fact, this sort of socialising is adventurous and we regret that it wasn’t there during our times,” says Himanshu Mathur from GE. While some people go for individual coaches and instructors for developing a particular skill-set in their kids, others go for camps that aim at bridging the gap between students in the same school as well as amongst other schools of varying sizes and statures. “Schools do a great job at building the real personality, but like all institutions that are competitive, emphasis is only on select students who keep representing the institution time and again, which ultimately leads to various untried and untested budding flowers,” says Pranav Chaturvedi from Summer Punch. His partner Asit Sharma further adds, “During the one month at Summer Punch, our very popular model at college level, called the Enhanced Negotiation Model (ENM), is toned and delivered along with memory builder seminars. Apart from such activities, various fun-filled options are also available that range from creative writing, debating and quizzing to dramatics, guitar lessons and salsa workshops.”
