SUMMER CAMP

Date: 13/04/23 - 16/04/23

FIDES organized a summer camp for children from 13- 16 April, 2023. The camp brought together 120 children from six different places, namely Ramaya Colony, Water Tank, Safal Labour Colony, Cheemasandra, Bandapura, and Chinagenahalli. The camp aimed at providing a comprehensive experience for the children, incorporating activities such as prayer, yoga, academic classes, and various recreational activities.

Day 1: The camp began with a beautiful prayer session setting a positive and spiritual tone for the day. Then followed the yoga session, which helped them relax and prepare for the day's activities. Afterwards, the children were divided into three groups, each led by a designated captain.

In the morning, the children attended different classes based on their turn. There were three classes available for them. The first class was focused on arts and crafts, allowing the children to unleash their creativity and express themselves through various artistic projects. The second class was an English language class, where the children had the opportunity to enhance their language skills through interactive exercises and engaging discussions. Lastly, there was a dance class, where the children learned various dance forms and routines, fostering their physical coordination and artistic expression.

After the morning session, the children were provided with nutritious meals to replenish their energy and keep them fuelled for the day's activities. The meals were thoughtfully prepared, ensuring a balance of essential nutrients.

During the afternoon, the children engaged in a range of outdoor activities, primarily focused on sports. They participated in various sports promoting teamwork, physical fitness, and friendly competition. After the sports activities, the children enjoyed delicious snacks, providing them with a refreshing break.

Day 2: The second day followed a similar schedule as the first day, continuing with the morning prayer, yoga, and division into groups with their respective captains. The morning classes offered the same options of arts and crafts, English, and dance classes, allowing the children to further explore their interests.

In the afternoon, the children continued with the sports activities. The sports sessions encouraged fair play, sportsmanship, and an active lifestyle. Following the sports activities, the children indulged in tasty snacks, boosting their energy for the remaining activities.

The children from different places came together to enjoy a diverse range of activities, including prayer, yoga, academic classes, sports, and recreational fun. The camp not only provided an opportunity for learning and skill development but also fostered a sense of unity, friendship, and teamwork among the children.

Day 3: On the 3 rd day the children had the opportunity to showcase their learning's from the previous two days. They were given a platform to demonstrate their dance skills, which they had acquired during the dance classes. The children prepared and performed beautiful dances, captivating the audience with their grace and talent. The dances they performed showed their dedication and hard work in the dance classes.

The closing ceremony of the camp was graced by esteemed guests. The chief guests included Sr Rosy Lopez the Directress of CDEW, Sr. Monica Thomas Superior of Sacred heart convent, Fr.

Additionally, the children showcased their vocal abilities by singing songs that they had learned during the summer camp. These songs included action songs that were taught to them. The songs were engaging and educational, enabling the children to remember important directions while having fun.
