What is a Holiday Camp and what should a good camp provide?
Camp is about the opportunity to grow and strengthen nature’s life skills.
A summer camp programme can provide children with the opportunity to have fun through a variety of activities that support physical activity, creative discovery and problem-solving skills with participation in a community environment.
School provides structure and hard factual knowledge but a camp isn’t about hard factual knowledge, or getting the answers to questions right – it’s about supporting and encouraging softer life skills.
A good quality and intelligently thought out camp programme will provide opportunities for even the youngest of children to develop and build critical life skills. Giving children the opportunity to explore open-ended activities provides children the chance to visit and re-visit activities time after time, refining and strengthening their skills each time.
A camp that is filled with fun, imaginative play and creative projects encourages creative exploration, cognitive problem solving and social interaction. Offering these opportunities increase a child’s confidence and also strengthens a child’s self-esteem. Camps that provide open-ended engaging projects give children a more valued experience by allowing them to take the activity wherever they want it to go.
The Windsor ‘FISH’ Camp
The Windsor is one of the very few British operated, all-year-round, early years nurseries in Khalifa City. But what makes The Windsor one of the best nurseries in Abu Dhabi is that our early years educators extend their skills throughout the school holidays, as part of our ‘Intelligent Childcare Programme’ – by extending our Early Years curriculum into a relaxed camp programme.
‘Our camp experience is whatever your child wants it to be’
Children need to grow and The Windsor ‘Fun In The School Holidays’ (F.I.S.H.) Camp allows a child to learn through exploration, making the camp experience whatever they want it to be whether they are exploring, discovering or inventing their own ideas. FISH Camp provides a neutral place where children have the opportunity to experience activities, face challenges and develop their confidence all while having fun, supported by our competent and experienced camp educators.
Windsor isn’t just any camp – it’s a nurturing learning-through-play environment for children from 2 years upwards.
The FISH camp runs from June 25 – August 10.
