The summer camps are just around the corner and seats are filling up across our locations pretty fast. Before I say anything else, I'd like to take a moment to thank all the parents and our location partners for the faith they have shown in us. You have made our conviction to "create confident thinkers" amongst children in India, a very strong resolve.
As we huddled up to talk about our approach towards the summer camp, some things stood out. For one, we are not approaching this as a place for children to while away time. It will be fun, it will have a lot of games and activities but at the same time it will be a shared learning experience for the children and the facilitator.
Secondly, as we move them through the process of building the skill of thinking creatively, we are intently focussed on changing how they view the world around them. Especially, it is an attempt to move it from a view of limited possibilities to unlimited possibilities. This helps build a "never give up" attitude in the child and will help them stand in good stead through the ups and downs of life.
Thirdly, we want to work with them to be able to work towards a natural style of creative expression and help them be more imaginative and structured in their thoughts.
With these thoughts in mind, we are gearing towards a "sunny" and "creative" summer this year!
