The Dubai Culture and Arts Authority will host summer camps in Al Shindagha Museum and Etihad Museum

Al Shindagha Museum and Etihad Museum will both conduct summer camps next month, which is organised by Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture). The camp for kids ages 8 to 12 seeks to provide plenty of room for creativity, as well as to help kids learn new things and enhance their abilities. This is in line with the authority's initiatives to build a resilient creative environment that fosters young talent, motivates the next generation, and improves their connection to Emirati history.

The Young Adventurers' Summer Camp at Al Shindagha Museum ran for two weeks, the first from July 17 to 21 and the second from July 24 to 28. The camp's theme was "A Journey from the Land to the Sea." The programme gives participants the chance to research their Emirati ancestry and discover the background of Dubai and the UAE.Children will go on an exhilarating trip with a strong historical foundation during the programme at Al Shindagha Museum. They will gain knowledge of the conventional occupation of pearl diving and the techniques used in its extraction, which has long provided a means of subsistence for people of Dubai. They will also gain knowledge of the specifics of the local maritime environment and the historic trades and crafts practised by those who lived along the shore. Children will learn about and engage with camels as they follow their desert adventures. They will also soar with falcons and learn about their worlds.

The Explorer Summer Camp, run by Dubai Culture, will take place at Etihad Museum for two weeks starting on July 10 and running through July 21. The camp is an educational excursion packed with entertaining and cultural activities that teach kids about the illustrious history of the UAE's union, the most notable events that occurred from 1968 to 1972, and the tales of our founding fathers while also letting them envision the future of the nation.

Children will be able to go back in time to 1968 as part of the Etihad Museum programme, which is centred around the idea of exploration. There, they will be able to explore the differences in the geography of the seven emirates between then and now through interactive and interesting tasks that emphasise the concept of time travel and what life was like here in 1968. They will work to effectively convey the union's history, core beliefs, and all relevant information. They will also receive training in creating museum tours.
