Summer Camp
Summer camps come in all shapes and sizes, and studies have shown it’s important for kids to try variety of activities during their “sampling years” to learn which activities they enjoy and excel at. The summer camp program was organized by the SpecialMe kids club for children of age 2 to 7 yrs which helped children to learn how to work with others, build meaningful relationships, accept guidance and develop decision-making skills.
Camp started with a mixed feeling of curiosity and fear of the unknown that turned into love for a new home. The activities conducted in camp helped children explore new ideas.
The activities conducted are as follows
- Children are often curious about the natural things they see around like leaves, twigs, sticks, sand and stones. The mentors inspired and guided children to create new craft items out of natural material available.

Olden days golden fun. Retro games are all time best for forever. The ‘Snake and Ladder’ pattern was drawn on floor and the kids were asked to move on the number box as the dice was rolled. It was fun activity to develop good motor skills. The Hopscotch game helped children to manage body rhythm, which is the core of numerous other skills. Movements involved build body strength, balance, eye/hand coordination and more.
