School's Out!
Here are some of Dubai’s favourite summer camps that are sure to keep the kids out of mischief over the holidays this 2016.
There are many benefits to sending your child to a camp over the summer holidays, especially if you are a working parent. Your child will generally get to spend their day being physically active. We all know that our children can spend a great deal of time indoors sitting down over our long, hot summers, so attending a summer camp provides a wonderful opportunity to move. Plus, it engages their brain, allows them to try new things, which helps develop their skills and confidence. And it unplugs them from technology, so they can rediscover their creative powers and engage with the real world!

Do not worry if you are not able to take your child for a holiday.

All of these life skills nurture independence and confidence, creating a foundation that will serve them for the rest of their life.
