The summer camp of the DAV CDA here was inaugurated on Monday with the lighting of lamp by school chairman Major BK Mahapatra in the presence of Principal Namita Mohanty, coaches and participants of the camp.
Mahapatra encouraged the children to participate in more numbers as their formative years are very important to learn quickly and show interest in various activities.
Principal Mohanty said the purpose behind the camp is to provide the children relief from the hectic burden of academics and said that there would be no competition among the participants; rather, it would be an amiable ambience of joy and jubilation.
As many as 300 students have enrolled in the camp which will continue for a month. Coaches of national and international repute would impart basic skills in cricket, football, athletics, karate, basketball, kabaddi, kho-kho, chess, yoga, art and craft, pottery, music and dance.
