Or have you thought of taking break from work and get on the road with your children? All this is great but have you thought anything related to education for the child?

On the other side of the planet various kinds of summer camps are organized. Some are similar like the ones held in the U.S. whereas some are 2 month long education summer camps; camps that include programs about self growth using meditation, mathematical education and physical education. That’s right; all this packed in one program to nurture the young sharp and quick learning minds. It might sound like a real torture from the perspective of not allowing children to break from education at all. However, these camps are designed to make the most out of the child’s free time during vacation.

Camps are normally held at hill resorts where weather is clean, environment and atmosphere is absolute serene away from daily chaos of big cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, New Delhi and alike. Camp begins with orientation and lodging allotment. Beginning day two - children are made to follow the routine of waking up early at 5 AM, spending an hour at meditation room meditating, light breakfast and then one hour of physical training. Students are then allowed to take break for shower and heavy breakfast. Around 10 AM students are asked to gather for the mathematics session where children are learn Vedic Mathematics. During the two to three initial weeks children are exposed to introductory Vedic mathematics and gradually progressed to advanced level. At 1 PM lunch is served followed by 2 hour break to relax, nap or personal reading.

At 4 tea and snacks are served and at 5 PM exercise session begins lasting for an hour. During this session children practice Vedic math. At 6 PM children gather to perform community service at the camp resort - cleaning the vast empty ground by picking up litter, cutting the grass and extracting weeds and many more team building exercises. At 8 PM dinner is served followed by debate session at 9 PM. Curtains drop at 10.30 PM and almost similar routine begins the next day.

Today, majority of the middle class in India follow this routine offering their children the best of the education and opportunities at early ages. These types of camps have helped large number of children to be successful in their lives as adults today. Everyday we read in Business newspapers or magazines as how the strong middle class in India is asking for more.

Everyday we read how new entrepreneurs from India are acquiring new large companies on foreign soils.

These types of innovative summer camps help children grow physically as well as mentally. So have you figured out what will your child do during the summer vacation? Play video games or learn Vedic Mathematics and have fun?
