The parent &Teacher Association Ex- Students & Villagers who are taking a lead in this camp makes this project unique. Under the banner of Divar Son of The Soil Project the camp is divided into four sections namely sports, eco, culture and leadership

After the camp children will be selected to represent the school in their chosen sport for the next four years. The aim is to give children time to develop their talents, coach to spot talent & for talented students to be sent for state trials in a systematic way.
Music & Culture are in our blood. To enhance the children's talent, classical, music, singing, painting, tailoring will be nurtured by local and state level artists. The above classes will help the children to prepare better when they take part in the famous Bonderam & Natkasur festivals. Children will be able to paint their own floats design their own costumes, compose and sing their own songs. To add spice to the camp children will be thought to cook & taste Gujarati, Chinese vegetarian dishes besides snacks.
Our Island has produced famous business houses like C.M.M, I.A Gonsalves, Armacar Group, etc. To keep this trend going we will have a leadership workshop.
