Summer Camp

The AVVAI Summer Camp gives students access to a curriculum that is creative, joyful, and participatory. This event aims to support students to realise their strengths and potentials by creating a safe environment to express their opinions and values. It offers a wide range of discussions and experiences that are beyond the capabilities of the academic system. They motivate young people to seek out the myriad of avenues open to them in the world.

What we offer

This five-week-long program consists of supplementary education programs with a series of activities and exposure visits for their mental and social development. The students participate in activities to improve their life skills such as communication, leadership, critical thinking, and teamwork. The camp also brings awareness to topics such as gender, castes, society, child rights, violence, sexual abuse, reproductive health, environment, hygiene, nutrition, and yoga.

Because of this summer camp I learned how to think out of the box and I have much more self-confidence.

Here we learned many things that are not in the books. I am a very shy person but when I came here, I started participating in many group discussions, giving my opinion. By taking part in all activities little by little I overcame my shyness and finally came out of my shell.

I came to know about the summer camp and joined it. I liked to learn English. The drama activity gave me self-confidence and communication capacity. I learned computer basics and think this knowledge will be useful for me in the future to get a better job. I learned that nothing is permanent, however big the problems are, they will pass smoothly and one should be able to solve them. I got this confidence here by associating with AVAG. The summer camp was a great experience for me.

I feel that my daughter is now able to stay calm and control her temper and I am happy that I have enrolled her in the program conducted by AVAG. My family is very grateful to AVAG for conducting the yearly summer camp for our children to participate in such a wonderful activity.
