Fun activities for the whole family this spring holiday

 

The student body at the American School of Creative Science - Al Barsha will be off for Spring Break from March 31st to April 11th.  The holiday can be a vibrant and enjoyable, yet stimulating time, for students, as well as a time for families to bond and spend time together.

As one of the best American curriculum schools in Dubai, we hope to create well-rounded individuals and recommend our students partake in family-centered activities that are vital for students’ emotional and mental development. However, parents might be concerned about how to spend the holidays productively and effectively. The following is a list of potential opportunities to explore this spring holiday.

Spring camps

Spring camps can be a wonderful opportunity for students to engage and learn through play as well as structured activities. Multiple spring camps will be held throughout the holiday and each of them has different timings, pay rates and age groups. You may decide your child’s springtime schedule at your convenience because most camps offer per-day and per-week registration. Spring camps can be especially useful for working parents. As students enrolled in one of the best American curriculum school in Dubai, children will be able to thrive in activities including martial arts, drama, sports, and crafts.

Outdoor activities

As one of the best American curriculum schools in Dubai, we feel that our students benefit from time spent outdoors. Exposure to the outdoors can range from trips to the local park, to the beach or even to desert safaris and sand-boarding. Families can also visit Saqr Park in Ras Al Khaimah, the Bassata Desert village, the Al Ain Safari at Al Ain Zoo or the Dubai Miracle gardens.

Explore culture and heritage

Exploring cultural and heritage locations in the UAE can be a wonderful family activity. As students of one of the best American curriculum schools in Dubai, we feel children will find cultural exploration fascinating.  Families can visit museums such as the Dubai museum, Ajman museum and the Umm Al Quwain National Museum. There are interesting cultural sites in the emirates such as the Umm Al Quwain Fort and the Al Fahidi Fort in Dubai. There are multiple souqs to explore in Ajman or you and your family can learn more falconry through Wild Flight Dubai.

At home activities

Family time is important for every child and should be encouraged through family crafts, cooking, playtime, reading, and sports. Engaging with your child can help encourage them to be more open and create a closer-knit family unit that will ultimately increase everyone’s emotional well-being.

As one of the best American curriculum schools in Dubai,  we feel that  stimulation,  creativity and fun during Spring Break is a vital part of our students’ academic career. We hope each will utilize this time effectively to relax, enjoy time with family, and explore something new.
