Day 1: Exploring India: Dive into the vibrant and diverse culture of India. Campers will learn about traditional Indian festivals like Diwali, enjoy a storytelling session about Indian mythology, and explore the country’s diverse wildlife, including the majestic Bengal tiger. They’ll be fascinated by India’s rich culinary heritage, from delicious curries to sweet gulab jamuns. Fun activities like trying Bollywood dance moves and crafting their own Rangoli art will bring the spirit of India to life.

Campers will learn about the importance of the Andes Mountains, taste traditional Chilean empanadas in a mock cooking class, and explore the mystery of Easter Island’s Moai statues. Interactive activities like creating their own mini volcanoes will highlight Chile’s unique geography.

Day 3: Experiencing France: Next, we ‘travel’ to France, a country renowned for its art, fashion, and cuisine. Campers will discover famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum. They’ll enjoy learning about French customs, taste-testing different types of cheese in a sensory activity, and trying their hand at basic French impressionist painting techniques.
