Children in Sharjah are being given the chance to enjoy a festive mind and body boost at Sharjah Ladies Club (SLC). The club, which is dedicated to providing leisure and educational activities for women and children, is hosting a ‘Winter Wonderland’ camp, which will run till January 5, featuring an array of interactive and educational activities designed for youngsters of all ages to help them learn new skills in a fun environment.
Held under the theme ‘Overcoming the Cold Winter through Fun and Education,’ the three-week camp, includes activities such as ‘Basateen,’ ‘Tiny Talents,’ ‘Arts Express,’ ‘Sports’ and ‘Bricks For Kids.’ The activities, which combine entertainment, education and art, will take place daily from 9am- 7pm.
“At Sharjah Ladies Club we are keen to host a variety of events and activities that are in harmony with the time of year. Each season we offer SLC’s members and visitors a combination of activities that meet their aspirations and are in line with their education and entertainment needs. Through our extensive programmes we aim to emphasise the club’s eagerness to provide high quality services using its state-of-the-art facilities,” said Alya Al Harmoudi, Head of Business Management at Sharjah Ladies Club.
SLC’s Winter Wonderland camp sees its Basateen Preschool Centre offer an entertainment and educational programme for children aged 3-5 years, with the activities formulated to encourage them to be creative. During the programme, which stimulates thinking through fun experiments, it is hoped that the children will discover the wonder of science and learn how it shapes the world.
Little ones are being given the opportunity to learn life skills through sand sculpturing and water activities at Winter Wonders. Music, motor activities, story reading, creative workshops, field trips, and puppet shows are among the many activities that are lined up for pre-schoolers during the camp.
Also during Winter Wonderland, children at SLC’s Tiny Talents camp will enjoy a wide range of fun-filled initiatives and winter-related crafts, such as creating a snow heater and drawing snowman. They will enjoy outdoor activities, playing with clay and having their faces painted, in addition to learning collage arts and recycling. The little ones will also engage in interactive workshops to learn how to design accessories, cook and much more.
At the ‘Art Unlimited’ camp, girls aged 6-12 years can learn ceramics and pottery making, sewing, crown making, painting on canvas with acrylics and pastels, cookery, paper recycling, henna design and embroidery. A diverse array of exercise activities, including swimming, badminton, football and gymnastics are also being taught at the ‘Sports’ camp.
The Collage Talent Centre is organising the ‘Art Express’ programme, which is designed to teach drawing and painting through use of acrylics, pastels, oil and water-colours, charcoal and pencil to draw as well as paint various subjects such as natural landscapes, silent
nature, portraiture, etc.
The programme is designed for girls aged 9 years and over.

This year, the Collage Talent Centre will organise a Business Administration camp for children aged 8-13 years old to teach them complete small projects, as well as develop their skills personally and professionally.
From December 25-29, SLC will host the ‘Bricks For Kids,’ which is also organised by Collage Talent Centre and will run in the afternoons and evenings from 4-7pm. Girls aged 6 years and over will be given an outstanding opportunity to learn how to build, code and program robots.
