Summer holidays can be the best time of a kid’s life, or the most boring depending on how well you plan it out. You can dilly dally your time away or enrol your precious into a camp so he/she can socialise, learn new things and have a ball. Here’s a list of the guys you need to get in touch with if you want to go summer camping!
Fun Summer Camps for Kids
Pug Marks
Focused on discovery, Pug Marks is about wildlife, trekking and adventure. Kids not only explore forts, forests, mountains, birds and animals but are also made to take part in debates on issues like tiger conservation. Equal emphasis on brain and brawn – this one gets a thumbs up from us.
