The Granny’s Courtyard: A Theme Based Camp

It was a time when the fairytales came alive, the gardens were brimming with activity, the grass yonder looking around with a green dew lens, and to add to it all, a flower that is hardly a day old trying to look at its creators playing and learning under the shade and care of the mighty tree umbrellas. Little shades of innocence could be found everywhere, in the tip-tap thumping of the ground during the dance sessions, a solitary thatch roof that was framed up right where it could meet the visitor’s eye, pots of varied shapes, sizes and colors adorning the sidewalk, hand-crafted masks which try to hide and display a plethora of emotions at the same time. To say that all of this did happen would let anyone surmise that it must be a story from wonderland, but for the children, if truth be told, it was just a day in the Granny’s Courtyard.

A Complete Camp Experience


Our day starts with a glass of

milk,

That everybody hates to drink

I bathe, I comb, I dress, I eat,

Then I run towards the street

Our day starts with a glass of

milk,

That everybody hates to drink

I bathe, I comb, I dress, I eat,

Then I run towards the street I play cricket, I hide, I seek, I catch a butterfly I sleep on sand, I lie on grass,

I watch a train go by.

I play cricket, I hide, I seek, I catch a butterfly I sleep on sand, I lie on grass,

I watch a train go by. I squeeze a leaf, I grind a flower,

I break open a fruit The colours that I use to paint

Are from the nature's root

Half the colour makes my art,

The other half is on my shirt

Granny cleans up all the mess

Yet she praises my effort

Yet she praises my effort I play in mud, I climb a tree,

I learn to catch a fish As long as I am safe and snug,

I can do all I wish

My life here is full of fun

Colours so rich and bright

After the tiring, fun-filled day

There are stories at the night. My life here is full of fun

Colours so rich and bright

There are stories at the night.

Stories of animals and birds, And those of queens and kings Stories of the stars above She tells us everything

Stories of animals and birds, And those of queens and kings Stories of the stars above She tells us everything

She makes me laugh, she laughs with me

And she plays with us all

She wipes our tears when we cry,

And lifts us when we fall She makes me laugh, she laughs with me

And she plays with us all

She wipes our tears when we cry,

And lifts us when we fall

How can I communicate with my kid?

Parents can send email, faxes, and letters to their children. Part o

f the

camping program requires children to write letters to their parents

everyday, which will be delivered to you. Phone calls are discouraged.

However, if a parent calls we can arrange for th

em to speak to their

child. Parents may visit at any time. There is no designated visiting day.

The whole idea of GC is to give campers a little time away from city life

,

with no disturbance from computers, Phone calls, TV, and video games


What's the food like? Delicious meals, served buffet style, Courtyard picnic tables, Varied options, hygienic, healthy, fruits all time severed, salad. expect parents to provide us with the dietary details, Our own dietician.

Where will my child be sleeping?

Beds are indoor comfortable AC & Non AC)

arrangements, 24hr electricity, and

mosquito screens, larger cabins have 1

counsellors and 5 -10 campers. toilets, and

individual shower stalls. Boys and girls

have separate cabins and

bathrooms, but all activities are co-

ed.

How is Granny's courtyard different from other summer

Camps?

Our staff understands that a child first needs to feel secure

before they will explore and try new things. Granny's

Courtyard's non-regimented sessions foster independence

and give campers the responsibility of choosing all their

own activities. Through daily interaction with fellow

campers and staff, children learn to problem solve and help

others. Camp gives them a true sense of who they are and

how they can contribute to the community around them.

Tell us about your counsellors?

All our counsellors have previous experience

working with children. They range in ages from 18

to 35 and the average age is 25. The camp director

personally interviews each staff member. We also

check references by phone and perform a criminal

background check and they have sound skill and

knowledge in the various activities
