Doha: The Katara Cultural Village Foundation launched its 2026 summer camps, attracting a remarkable turnout with nearly 190 children and young people registering. The camps offer a diverse range of cultural, artistic, and scientific programmes for both boys and girls, and will continue until July 29th. The interactive atmosphere combines learning, fun, and skills development.
Participants were divided into eleven diverse summer camps, including the Heritage and Folk Crafts Camp, the Thuraya Summer Camp, the Little Actor Camp, the Literature Camp, the Photography Camp, the Be Smart, Be Strong Camp, the Pottery Summer Camp, the Fine Arts Summer Camp, the Religious Camp, the Beauty of Our Heritage Camp, and the Silent Laughter Camp.
All camps were designed to align with the participants’ interests and provide them with enriching educational and practical experiences that enhance their knowledge and refine their talents. From the very first day, an atmosphere of enthusiasm and engagement was evident in the various camps.
Children eagerly participated in the activities and workshops, demonstrating curiosity and a thirst for discovery. They interacted with the instructors through discussions, group exercises, and creative activities, allowing them to express their ideas and unleash their imaginations in a stimulating learning environment that blended knowledge and entertainment.
The Literature Camp witnessed remarkable participation through workshops such as “Knights of Language,” “Future Broadcaster,” “I Am a Poet,” “Storytellers,” and “Platform Stars.” These workshops aimed to develop Arabic language skills, elocution, creative writing, and build self-confidence and public speaking abilities. Meanwhile, the Arts, Ceramics, Photography, and Acting camps attracted talented children who showed great enthusiasm for hands-on experience and discovering their creative potential.
The Thuraya Summer Camp offered a rich scientific experience in the world of space and astronomy, while the “Be Smart, Be Strong” camp combined physical and mental activities. The Religious Camp presented an educational programme that combined values and knowledge in an interactive atmosphere suitable for the target age group.
Katara’s summer camps are part of the Cultural Village’s vision to invest summer vacation time in purposeful programmes that contribute to the development of children’s and young people’s personalities, enhance their creative and intellectual abilities, and instill values of cooperation and self-confidence, through an inspiring educational environment that combines culture, arts, sciences and heritage, reflecting Katara’s mission to nurture talents and create a creative generation that is proud of its cultural identity.
