SUMMER CAMPS

Summer camps are held every year. The camp contributed to the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials as individuals. Children will grow up as responsible citizens and members of their local, national and international communities. Coaching classes were conducted for Dance, Cricket, Badminton, Chess and Athletics. A computer crash course in Flash was also held.

Through this summer camp children gained a wholesome benefit of improving their skills in extra-curricular activities and also building inter-personal relationships, making the best use of their summer vacation.
