Both of our volunteers and Core Team are involved in this summer program.
1 Week-long camps in June, for ages 9-16. Young children had the joy of exploring painting, make Macrame, making animal craft from leaved, dying with natural material cycling on fields, and play sport in Community yard, and more. Older campers will be treated to a classic summer camp experience. They’ll be outdoors exploring and developing hands-on skills as well as spending some quality, unplugged time inside enjoying a range of fun activities. Listening to that naive questions, we could only smile because we were happy—happy that we could still create opportunities for the children to know and feel while their curiosity is still strong.
At Núi Tượng, the children get the chance to go out into the garden and the fields to observe, look around, and touch the strange things collectively called “nature” . Not only is it a great way for children to learn about healthy eating habits, but it also sparks their natural instincts and creativity.
