Therapeutic Summer Camps & Creative Groups
Give your child a summer of connection, creativity, and confidence. Our therapist-led camps are designed for children to thrive in safe, inclusive environments where they can explore, express, and belong.
We believe in turning a plain old boring holiday into a season of play and connection. This image contrasts a typical summer with the vibrant, interactive experience we create at our camps, filled with friendship and discovery.
Children thrive in spaces that offer structure, freedom to express, and opportunities to connect. Our Summer Camp is designed with care to support growth, joy, and the beginning of early friendships in a nurturing environment.
A day at our Summer Camp is packed with creative, sensory-rich activities. Led by our therapists in safe, small groups, children engage in music, movement, storytelling, and group play, ensuring a day of shared learning and fun.
Each day at our camp is thoughtfully structured into four segments: 'Sur aur Sargam' for music, 'Satrangi Mela' for crafts, 'Taal se Taal' for movement, and 'Mast Magan' for storytelling. Every activity is designed to support social-emotional growth.
Here is what you can expect at our 2025 Summer Camp. We provide a joyful space where your child can explore, express, and connect in small, inclusive groups led by our expert clinicians.
During 'My Superpower Week' at camp, we celebrate each child's uniqueness. Through superhero games, movement, and dough play, we help children feel strong, inside and out, fostering confidence and self-esteem.
In 'Habitat Week', our little explorers discover the world of animals and nature. From singing jungle rhymes to making animal masks, we dive into different habitats using sight, sound, story, and movement.
Our 'Around the World' theme expands horizons through music, food, art, and stories from different cultures. Children get to try new things together, with lots of laughter, non-fire cooking, and shared joy.
We end the summer with 'Mystery & Magic' week. This magical close to the camp features dancing shadows, glowing art, and storytelling that sparks imagination, culminating in a celebration and showcase for families.
Our Summer Camp is a popular program, and spots fill up fast. This announcement reminds families to register for a summer of joy, play, and expression, with new themes to explore each week.
About Summer Camps & Creative Groups
These are not your typical activity camps. Every session is designed by clinical psychologists and occupational therapists to build social skills and emotional regulation through structured, purposeful play. Instead of just keeping kids busy, your child engages in thematic modules like 'My Superpower Week' or 'Habitat Week' within small, secure cohorts, ensuring they feel seen and supported every step of the way.
A Clinical Approach to Play
At Children First, we believe that joyful play is the most effective medium for growth. Our camps and creative groups, such as 'The Art Circle' or our seasonal 'Super Camp', are facilitated by trained psychologists and occupational therapists. We move beyond performance-based art, focusing instead on participation, self-expression, and the development of emotional resilience.
Core Program Structure
Each week is thoughtfully planned to balance exploration and routine. Depending on the program, sessions may include:
- Sur aur Sargam (Music): Using rhythm to practice sound regulation and listening.
- Satrangi Mela (Sensory Art): Tactile experiences with diverse materials.
- Taal se Taal (Movement): Obstacle courses that develop gross motor skills and spatial awareness.
- Mast Magan (Storytelling): Role-play activities that help children practice social scenarios in a low-pressure setting.
Who This Is For
We create space for neurodiverse and neurotypical children alike. Whether your child is 4 years old or approaching their teens, our small group ratios ensure that every participant receives individual attention. We operate across our Safdarjung and Gurugram centers, maintaining a safe, sensory-friendly environment that feels more like a community than a clinical setting.
Beyond The Camp
We view these programs as a stepping stone. Our goal is for children to carry the confidence, social skills, and sense of belonging they find here back into their daily lives, schools, and friendships. We conclude our seasonal camps with a 'Culmination Day', inviting families to celebrate the progress and creations of their children.
Children First
We are Children First. For over 16 years, we have worked to build a community of care where every child is honored exactly as they are. We don't just run camps; we hold space for kids to find their own rhythm, make friends, and discover their strengths through the magic of art, movement, and play.
