Summer vacations bring a smile on the faces of school-goers but for mothers, it is a Herculean task to keep kids engaged indoors. The Chandigarh/Tricity has lots to offer for the young ones to indulge in fun activities at summer camps and in the process also learn a new skill.
Summer holidays earlier meant visits to grandparents, relatives, family friends scattered in different parts of the country. With changing times, urbanisation technology-driven gadgets and nuclear family cutlure, children and their parents have been left to fend for themselves. Summer camps in Chandigarh silently fill these lacunae in the lives of children where they get an opportunity to mingle with their own tribe, lear and unlearn. CityWoofer has prepared a list of destinations ready for your ward to be in, choose any one close to your home and feel relieved.
