The greenery of the dense forests, chirping birds, colourful butterflies and enthusiastic smiles of children… Such was the scene, the third Summer Camp-2025 organized at Nandanvan Jungle Safari concluded with great joy on 25 May. On this occasion, the children learnt the lesson of environmental protection and assimilated themselves with nature.
25 selected students participated in this seven-day summer camp from 19 to 25 May, where they not only got to know nature closely but also established a deep dialogue with it. On the closing ceremony of the camp, Nandanvan Jungle Safari Director Mr. Thejas Shekhar and Assistant Director Mr. Y.K. Dahriya encouraged all the participants by giving them certificates.
In the camp, children learnt that identifying trees and plants is an art. They were taught scientifically about the activities of birds and the importance of wildlife conservation, environmental balance and biodiversity in simple and interesting ways. Teaching was combined with games, excursions and creative activities in such a way that children started considering themselves as ‘protectors of nature’.
This year the theme of the summer camp was ‘Connect with nature, save the environment’, the aim of which was not only to provide information but also to create a permanent consciousness among children towards environmental protection. They should preserve the greenery and cleanliness around them and inspire and encourage others for this.
Addressing the children at the closing ceremony, Director Nandanvan Jungle Safari Shri Thejas Shekhar said that as per the instructions of Forest Minister Shri Kedar Kashyap, such summer camps were organized which not only make children sensitive towards the environment but also make them participants in the creation of a green India. He said that this effort of Nandanvan Jungle Safari was not only full of adventure for the children. It also made them true friends of nature for life. In future, more such camps are being planned so that the coming generations can lay the foundation of a better tomorrow by connecting with nature and can preserve the environment by assimilating nature.
