Your children need not spend their summer vacation indoors watching television. Check out these summer and adventure camps for kids aged 9 to 17.
Summer camps provide a great opportunity to children to indulge in fun activities, go on adventures, make new friends and learn about things that are not in textbooks. At adventure camps, they learn to be one with nature, climb mountains and run with the wind. Or, at city-centric camps, they learn various skills such as cooking, crafts, art, communications, design, etc., that are essential for developing well-rounded personalities. Here is a list of summer camps that you can still enrol your kids in this summer:
