With Diwali vacations around the corner, we suggest you get your kid into camp mode with a fun, enriching experience at Vintage Village rural kids camp. Located in Thane's Valwanda village, kids can learn Warli art from tribals, dance, etch Rangolis, chop wood and grind rice, and even learn to shake a leg, Warli style!
For city-bred kids who spend more time on their PlayStations than enjoying the outdoors, the idea of heading to a village may seem like a culture shock. Precisely the idea behind the Vintage Village Camp (three days-four nights) organised by Sweet Memories.
The camp takes children to Valwanda village located in Jawhar block of Thane district (105 km from Mumbai en route to Ahmedabad). Warli tribals, who are famous for their ancient drawings and vibrant dance forms, inhabit the tribal village. At the camp, children will learn the intricacies of Warli art from the tribals, and will focus on Diwali motifs in particular.
