India, May 23 -- The perfect way to channel your child's energy and creativity this summer? Lucknow offers a perfect lineup of skill-based camps that go beyond the typical and regular ones. Here are a few amongst the many offering specialised workshops in archery, tennis, figure skating, gymnastics, theatre and more, ensuring a productive and fun holiday. On keeping heat at bay and the importance of summer activities, general physician Dr GA Qureshi says, "Staying active is very essential for kids, and summer break should not be restricted to TV, mobile or studies. It's to learn something new so it aids in overall development. With so much happening in Lucknow, parents should see what their children are interested in or have an inclination for, and then enrol them accordingly." Focusing on creative growth, Anuradha Dubey, web assistant at Bhartendu Dance Akademi, highlights the value of drama. She says, "Theatre is the best form of art, especially for kids aged between 7-17 years, as it removes their stage fear and also gives them basic learning of what acting, writing and direction is. We want children and teenagers to pick up love for theatre. This is a perfect need of give and take; it will boost theatre in the new generations while invoking creative skills in them. We will have a 60-person batch training for a month before a big staging." Beyond established arts, new activities are gaining traction. Roshni from The Dance and Sports Centre Lucknow notes, "Kids and parents have shown high interest in figure skating and gymnastics, and that's where we are getting good enrolment in summers this year. We had a batch of ten kids and kept the skating training indoors. Also, we are scouting skaters for a national event."...
