Sharjah Ladies Club (SLC) is seeing a huge turnout of kids at their recently launched children’s winter programme at three of SLC’s facilities, Basateen Preschool Centre, Collage Talent Centre and Sports Complex. Recreating the magic of a winter wonderland, the camp themed ‘Cold Days, Heart-warming Joy’, will offer an exciting variety of entertainment and educational activities until January 11, 2018.

 

The camp’s creative workshops are enabling children to acquire

 habits that will enable them to use their free time gainfully and start developing essential life skills early on. From outdoor activities like swimming, paddle boarding, ice skating, Zumba, pottery, field trips and more to the literary joys of live storytelling and puppet theatre shows, and unlimited art and crafts – six different camps with plentiful activity offerings targeting boys and girls.

 

With flexible subscription package options ranging from a day and up to four weeks, SLC is making it easy for parents to find the perfect fit for their children and work around their schedules. Organisers say this has contributed greatly to the fantastic turnout the Winter Wonderland Camp has seen thus far.

 

 “Our winter wonderland offering has six different camps to choose from, and is providing kids with a wide spectrum of leisure, educational and pedagogic activities. The young ones can engage in a selection of their choice, and parents can be satisfied knowing that each one has been designed and categorised under the different camps by a host of pedagogy experts. Through this winter camp, SLC aims to enhance innovation and creativity among its participants, stimulate their intellectuality and stir their imagination,” said Lubna Al Moalla, Sales Development Manager at SLC.
