In the schools of Northern India, summer carries the fragrance of smiles, discovery, and the jubilant voices of students who, in keeping with a cherished tradition, take part in the summer camps organised by the Canossian Schools and the Canossian Sisters. These camps offer a precious opportunity—both recreational and educational—designed for pupils across primary, middle, and high school levels. During this special time, school grounds are transformed into vibrant centres of joy, creativity, and holistic learning.
Each day begins in quiet reverence, with prayer and a moment of reflection, grounding the experience in its spiritual dimension. It is a journey of the soul and of the self—a path towards harmonious personal growth, the discovery of one’s inner gifts, and the blossoming of natural inclinations.
Participants are invited to immerse themselves in a rich array of activities: drawing, art, handicrafts, music, dance, yoga, storytelling, team games, and drama. Alongside these, thoughtfully designed educational workshops address essential themes such as health and hygiene, good manners, environmental stewardship, ethics, morality, and personal responsibility.
Stepping momentarily away from academic routines, many students find in these unconventional experiences a true sense of liberation, joy, and renewal. The ever-present, caring guidance of the Canossian Sisters and dedicated faculty fosters an atmosphere of warmth and trust, where each child feels seen, valued, and uplifted.
Within this informal and enriching environment, young hearts form new friendships, grow in self-confidence, and rediscover hidden talents—nurtured through attentive guidance and meaningful relationships. Outside their formal roles, teachers and Sisters share in the students’ laughter and lived experiences, cultivating moments of authentic happiness that reinforce the human bond at the heart of education.
The initiative has been met with wholehearted enthusiasm from students and families alike, with high levels of engagement and participation. The results speak for themselves: increased self-confidence, stronger interpersonal connections, improved discipline, and a deepened sense of belonging. The smiling faces and spirited energy of the students told the story more eloquently than words ever could—the Summer Camps of 2025 were a resounding success.
Once again, these experiences achieved their noble aim: to harmonise education and play, growth and lightness of heart, leaving an indelible, positive imprint on the school community. A time of shared learning, friendship, and joy, lived in an atmosphere of unity, serenity, and hopeful trust in the future.
