Summer Escape for children
29 Apr 2016, 10:18 am
Kolkata, Apr 28 (NITN) Let your children turn creative and pick up various skills that will help them later in life at the summer camp being organised by Kolkata's popular lifestyle and bookstore STORY.
Summer vacations can be very trying for parents as children turn fidgety as they are forced to remain indoors and hence the summer camp can be a good opportunity to keep the children engaged.
Called Summer Escape, the programme will be held at the Elgin Road and Diamond Plaza outlets for over a month, from May 12 to June 18 and will include a host of events for various age groups.
The programmes will be held indoors.
Besides drawing competition, cyber awareness, card making, story telling and pottery making events, there are Lego events, Bey Blade competition, finger puppet making, Rubik's competition, etc.
STORY will not only hold fun programmes but also social awareness programmes such as Cyber Bullying Awareness Programme, etc.
Children's safety has now become a major issue. In an initiative to stop sexual abuse of innocent children, STORY has devised a unique workshop Right touch Wrong Touch to convey to kids how to defend themselves in crisis situations.
Events will be held at different times and include both free and paid participation.
It is advisable to register early at the STORY outlets (Ph 983047000).
The flagship bookstore of STORY on Elgin Road, Kolkata, claims to be eastern India’s largest standalone bookstore covering an area of 15000 sq feet.
STORY also helps students of Future Hope, an NGO in Kolkata that provides home and school for street children, by training them at various stores during summer intern-ships. It also raises funds and donates books, gifts and toys to various charity organisations.
