The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) has unveiled its School Break Camps Programme, a collaborative effort that unites prominent organizations to provide a variety of enriching camps during school breaks. This initiative aims to offer students engaging, impactful, and enjoyable experiences.

Building on the success of the summer camps earlier this year, ADEK is committed to expanding the programme to ensure a consistent supply of camps for every school break. This reinforces ADEK's dedication to promoting holistic student development and preparing them for future success.

Beginning on Monday, December 16, the programme will feature camps in various fields such as arts, sports, science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), Arabic literacy, culinary arts, and environmental education. These camps are designed to encourage continuous learning outside the classroom.

Here is a list of camps available during the school break:

In partnership with Louvre Abu Dhabi and other organizations, students can participate in the Art Lab Camp, creating artwork inspired by the Suhail Star and Khaleeji mythology.
