Life Skills Enhancing Overnight Camp for Class LKG

An overnight camp is a place for kids to be themselves while making friends and trying out new experiences. A primary advantage of Overnight Camp is that kids have more time to adjust to their surroundings and get comfortable while honing the learning and growing they go through a range of recreational and educational activities throughout the day. With more time to spend on particular interests, Overnight Camps also provide a chance for kids to become more independent in being away from family and teach them more responsibility for themselves and for others.

Keeping in view the importance of camps, Delhi Public School, Srinagar organized an Overnight Camp for Class LKG on 22nd and 23rd September, 2018.

Hats off to the 175 girls and boys who walked in with a spring in their feet and a smile on their face. It’s time to get into the camp spirit! So, here we go!

DAY 2

PHOTO SESSION AND SEE OFF

After a hearty breakfast, our bonny gals and guys, gave their best shot when they posed for a group photo. Time vanished like a jiffy and it was time to say adieu.

The Overnight Camp ended with the assembly- children sang songs; spoke about what they liked at the camp.Parents were indeed surprised to see that their kids had stayed away from them without hardly any fuss. Many students, infact, didn’t want to leave.

The Overnight Camp succeeded in making our students more confident and self-reliant and taught them skills of independence, doing things with responsibility from a very young age. Bravo, youngsters. You sure did grow up in a span of a day!
