The summer camp featured around 45 specialised programmes and workshops designed to develop and enhance children's talents across various fields. In fine arts, children excelled in creating innovative artworks, including drawing, clay sculpting, and learning the fundamentals of these techniques.

In the "Story in a Profession" workshop, the children had a blast learning about different careers through stories and solving related challenges. In the "Story Workshop," they used their creativity to design and create picture books and convert them into digital stories. They also enjoyed other workshops like story scenes and reading tune.
In the realm of life skills, the children learned the basics of agriculture, healthy nutrition, and the importance of good values and behavioural skills through the various workshops offered at the camp.
In the theatre workshops, participants learned expressive language and body language through silent theater, and they also created characters and performed scenes using shadow puppets.
To encourage children to engage in sports, they participated in various challenges including climbing, gymnastics, fencing, chess, football, and basketball. They also joined the "Sports Incubators" program to develop skills in judo, taekwondo, archery, and fencing.
In the entertainment learning programmes, children delved into imaginative worlds and took on theatrical roles, while also honing craft skills by creating wooden models.
