I will share with you what I did on my summer vacation. It was the first time I had joined a summer camp. It was an interesting and enjoyable activity.

This camp has given me the best experiences in life. There were several other children of my age who participated in the camp. We were divided into groups and every day we used to learn something. This was the time when I discovered my hidden creative talents. I learned painting, karate, and dance. During the camp, I enjoyed participating in several competitive group activities too. Besides learning, we also played different types of sports such as badminton, volleyball, khokho etc.

The unique painting tips that I learned during the camp helped me master this art and progress in it. Though my camp is over, I keep honing my skills to excel in this art. It is the summer camp that has ignited the passion for painting within me. I will be indebted to this wonderful experience throughout my life.

Summer vacation is the most important time that every student eagerly waits for! It is a necessary part of every school’s schedule. The vacation gives you the much-needed break from routine life. You need to use this time productively in learning value added skills to unleash the creativity with you. Summer vacation is also the time to mingle with close ones. Vacation is an incredible time for a child to visit hilly destinations with family. In this article, I will share with you how I spent my summer vacation.

On my vacation, I went to my grandparents’ place and spent the rest of the vacation there. They stay in a village that is at a five-hour distance by train via village settings. This place is away from the hustle bustle of the city. It is full of natural beauty. The air is fresh and clean. The entire environment is extremely relaxing. As soon as I step into the village atmosphere, I feel so much comfort and at home. The best part is that my cousins also visited the native place at that time. We have planned to play outdoor activities throughout the day. I spent fifteen days there. I have been very well-behaved and courteous.

We used to wake up at 7 am and take a leisurely walk with my grandfather. After returning home, my grandma used to prepare a healthy and tasty breakfast for us. My grandpa has his farmland of fruits and takes proper care of it and the produce. He is fond of gardening. He used to tell us about the different types of fruits, plants, gardening practices etc.

I and my cousins used to help him planting saplings and watering them in the garden. My grandmother taught me to make paneer from milk and a tasty dish called “Sandesh” that is made from fresh paneer. Along with enjoying my stay, I have learned several new things that have enhanced my knowledge.

Just like mornings, evenings have also been wonderful. I used to keep my head on my grandma’s lap and she used to tell me several interesting stories. We used to sleep on the terrace, gazing sparkling and beautiful stars all night. Sleeping under the infinite blue sky while enjoying the cool breeze was an incredible experience for me. It is not possible to get such kind of experience in the city.

This is how I spent my summer vacation. It has been an awesome and very memorable time of my life. I always love to spend my vacations with them and the thought of visiting their village fills me with excitement. I not just enjoyed this event but also made several new memories. I relish whatever time I had spent with my grandparents and cousins. It has brought me a lot of happiness. I have learned several new things in life. I am very grateful to have such a caring family for helping me create this wonderful experience that will remain in my heart forever.

Schools and colleges remain close to each other due to the high temperature during this season. Summer vacations begin right after the student’s annual exam is over.

Students aren’t supposed to spend their summer vacation indoors watching TV, in reality, they’re meant to go to some of the summer camps. Summer camps are a great opportunity for kids to try many new things, to display their internal abilities, to go on an adventure, and learn things that are not in the textbooks. Summer camps help students get to know nature, Climb Mountains. They also teach students certain basic home equipment, such as baking, hiking, crafts, painting, imagination, etc. Such abilities are important for the creation of an all-rounder personality.

Summer vacation is not just a children’s holiday, but it’s a season when students want to enjoy different kinds of things.
