Kids Summer Camp

A summer of learning, exploration and adventure!

For kids of ages 7-16, our summer camps use fun, hands-on learning, and heritage trails to inspire children to enrich the future by learning about our rich past.
Founder Victor Hugo Gomes has specially designed our camps with exciting and fun-filled activities where children can explore our Museums, interact with historical objects, cultural artifacts and age-old traditions, and learn history, crafts and life-skills.
Our campers get hands-on with history through workshops, games, live demonstrations, exhibitions, guest speakers, and road trips and heritage trails for 2 weeks.

How will this help my child?
Our camps have been thoughtfully planned keeping in mind the need for children to connect with their roots, learn about their heritage and culture and take pride in it. It is what sets them apart from other kids and instills a sense of confidence and curiosity.
The camp is designed to enrich each child’s development with activities that promote experiential learning through workshops, live exhibitions, adventure trails, etc., helping children to learn life-long lessons.
This is an opportunity for children to learn valuable lessons even outside the classrooms and be inspired by history.
Children will be encouraged to think independently and creatively, take up a new hobby, debate, and socialise with other children, in addition to gaining self-confidence and developing their knowledge and communication skills.
