Summer vacation is the longest duration of holidays given to the children, however, as we all know that an idle mind is a devil’s workshop, similarly children sitting idly at home are clueless of how to spend their time and they end up creating havoc at home.

The greatest thing about these summer camps is that each day is charted out for different activities, so that a child does not get bored of doing the same thing again and again, as it becomes monotonous.

Adventure camps are mostly organized in places where students could take part in adventure sports, learn mountain climbing, grappling, river rafting, kayaking, etc. Summer camps are not only meant for fun and learning, but it also teaches kids several other things like team work, learn to co-operate with other team members, learn to strive in harsh conditions, etc. Student life is considered to be a time when one should put in the maximum effort to bear the maximum result, so all these training are provided in a playful way so as to inculcate a sense of self sustenance amongst children.
