Employing carefully selected videos, he introduced students to the ingenuity of birds who reach their destination without the aid of any maps, or paraphernalia. They only use sunlight and stars as their reference points, thereby asking students to understand that success doesn’t require plentitude, rather it is conditioned by determination.
The Auditorium: Fouzia – the dastaango curated the session. She performed various fables with animal characters.

The element of harmony and music was inculcated through the establishment of a refrain e.g. I can. Through this activity several important life lessons were learnt e.g. emphasizing the value of determination through a simple activity: narrator establishing an endeavor e.g. I will love my country and the chorus repeating I can. The proof that this activity appealed to students was furnished by one student who when asked what he liked about the activity replied that he liked everything about it.
Studio: Sandhya Rao curated the session. Through the use of carefully curated stories, she emphasized the theme of eco-preservation. The curator distributed painted boards, seeds, small cups of soil and shells to provide students a hands on experience in workings of nature.

The Auditorium: Kameel Pruthi (vocals) and Rajeev Bandhani (tabla) curated the session. They performed a musical tale of the ‘Blue Kangaroo’, that they performed in the morning again before a different set of students. The reactions were no different this time.

Craft corners: These fun filled sessions were curated by Ludwin Mascarenhas, Team DK, Team Eklavya and Tinkle. The sessions kept the students busy with their hands, and their eyes glued to the things. Students learnt to craft a rudimentary hand puppet, and drawing a frowning clown from mud.

Doodle Wall: Chetan Sharma curated this session of superheroes. Not often does one realize the effort it takes to create characters one took for granted in childhood. Interactive Sketching made the onlooker aware of the immense effort it takes to create characters like superheroes popular with children. The children were observed enrapt, and busy with hands and smiles watching and drawing their superheroes in action. They observed with interest the creation of characters like a dragon and super flying girl Nidrat named after a student. The children were seen pitching in with suggestions about which characters to draw and their details.
Patchakatha: These were two sessions of storytelling once again held by Jeeva Ragunathan and Ajay Dasgupta. The students enjoyed the musical rendition of stories, and dancing to them each outclassing the other in terms of sheer delight and enjoyment. One story that the students quite enjoyed revolved around the two brother clever and fool. While clever exploits the fool at every juncture, the fool’s bravery rescues him at the end. The story pointed out the value of courage and responding to adversity. Without even noticing, the students were educated about pressing issues like environment conservation, ethics, and response to fear. It was a perfect culmination to what has been a very satisfying and fun-filled day.

Camp helps conquer fears.

Camp is real and helps unplug from technology – When kids take a break from TV, cell phones, and the Internet, they rediscover their creative powers and engage the real world— real people, real activities, and real emotions. They realize, there’s always plenty to do.
Camp expands every child’s abilities and Develops life-long skills – Camps provide the right instruction, equipment and facilities for kids to enhance their sports abilities, their artistic talents, and their adventure skills. The sheer variety of activities offered at camp, makes it easy for kids to discover and develop what they like to do.
Camp helps kids develop who they are and Grow more independent – Camp is the perfect place for kids to practice making decisions for themselves without parents and teachers guiding every move. Managing their daily choices in the safe, caring environment of camp, children welcome this as a freedom to blossom in new directions.
At camp we play! and have free time for unstructured play – Free from the overly-structured, overly-scheduled routines of home and school, life at camp gives children much needed free time to just play. Camp is a slice of carefree living where kids can relax, laugh, and be silly all day long.
Camp builds teamwork and helps kids Learn social skills – Coming to camp means joining a close-knit community where everyone must agree to cooperate and respect each other. When they live with others, kids share chores, resolve disagreements, and see firsthand the importance of sincere communication.
