“Mom, I am bored!”
These are rare words in today’s times, don’t you agree? Sometimes, actually, it feels like children are busier than we are! Throughout the academic year they have school, which is now an amazing wholesome experience for them and after school hours, they are engaged in homework, activities, projects, etc. What about the summer holidays? We remember getting bored after a few days but our kids today have plans sketched out for the entire duration. Thank you, summer camps!
Back in the day, only a few camps were heard of and very few children joined but today, summer camp is nothing short of a revolution. In fact, almost all schools and institutions conduct exciting camps that help children explore their hidden talents in different fields. It is not even a question anymore. It is a routine.
But, on the downside, choosing the best summer camps has become almost as difficult as choosing a school. Hyderabadi kids are spoilt for choice because of the sheer volume of options. What do parents like you and us do then? We find the best summer camps and then take a decision. Now, here’s the good news. We have already curated a list for you so that you don’t have to look any further. Just keep reading!
