Summer & Holiday Camps
Ekya Nava
I run hands-on summer camps at Panathur where kids and families build, make, and explore real-world skills instead of just playing games.

About Summer & Holiday Camps
What We Believe
At Ekya Nava, I see summer holidays as a chance for kids to discover new things, not just chill at home. My camps push kids to do way more than just play games. It's about taking their curiosity and turning it into something real - something they can see, touch, and be proud of.
How We Do Camps
I build every camp around Purpose-Based Learning. Kids get to dive into hands-on stuff, make things, and figure things out for themselves. They don't just stay busy - they actually grow as thinkers and doers.
Camps for All Ages
At Panathur campus, I've got camps for different age groups and interests.
- Little Explorers Camp (ages 3-6): Loads of creative arts holiday camp activities - storytelling, puppet making, clay, and crafts. Plus, martial arts, yoga, dance, and fitness games for fun movement. Kids play with blocks and eco-friendly materials, learning by doing.
- Budding Innovators Camp (ages 7-10): This is my STEM summer camp for kids. Think coding, robotics, 3D printing, building rockets, and basic basketball skills.
- Pathways to Discovery (ages 9-12): Kids get into outdoor exploration summer camp mode with wildlife programs, design thinking, electronics, and even mountaineering basics.
Shorter, one-week camps are also there if you want to focus on art, design, entrepreneurship, or mindfulness.
Parent-Child Experiences
I've added parent-child adventure camp options too. You and your kid can trek, camp overnight, and make memories together - away from the usual routine.
Practical Stuff
Everything happens at our Panathur campus in Bangalore. Transport is sorted, so getting here is easy.

My Story
We started Ekya Nava because, honestly, the old way of schooling just didn’t fit the world our kids are walking into. We wanted a place where kids could actually build, create, mess up, try again—right in the Makery or the design lab, not just on paper. Our campus is all about sparking curiosity, not just cramming facts. We’re not just teaching kids, we’re working with families too—growing together, learning together. That’s the heart of it.
My Work
What We Offer - Full K-12 international school with focus on innovation, creativity, design. Plus, hands-on workshops, summer camps, and parent-child treks.
Learn - Think - Do Approach - No rote stuff. Kids learn concepts, brainstorm, then actually do—real hands-on learning for kids.
Future-Ready Pathways - Students choose paths like design thinking in education, making, IT & society, or innovation & entrepreneurship.
Makery & Creative Spaces - Makery for building and tinkering, Atelier for art—every space made to get kids curious and working with their hands.
Families Grow Too - We run conscious parenting workshops and sessions on emotional well-being for parents, because kids do better when families grow together.
