This year, the Palace collaborates with The Bright Minds Institute and Pro Kid Sports Club, promising an action packed-summer edition of their popular summer camp.
The Bright Minds Institute will take the little ones (6 months - 5 years) through skills for brain training, with a focus on decision making, imaginary exploration, eye tracking, memory skills and flash cards. They'll also take part in literacy and numeracy tasks, as well as fine motor skills.
The Pro Kids Sports Club will put the 3-14 year olds through their paces with lots of sporting activities such as basketball, taekwando and pool time, plus gymnastics and aqua aerobics.
You can enrol your child for the week or for just the days that match their interest, which is a breath of fresh air for parents across the city trying to save their dirhams.
