Summer camps are conducted each year at the IAED, Mansoura; Kalabhavan, Mamoura;BPS, D ring road etc..,

Art is especially taught.

I believe that the VCUQ also has summer classes for older children and adults.

Try any of these .

Hey..there is a camp for kids being organized by ICC,there are two categories..your son will fall under Category 1(meant for kids between 4 and 9 years of age). The camp begins from the 6th of July till the 14th of August.

They accept applications till the 29th of June. I think they charge a fee of QR 500 for category 1 and transportation is extra.

You can contact Mr.Ashraf (4674845) or Mrs.Nisha Narayan(5836259) for more details.

Hope this helps!

On the other hand, if you are unable to avail that vacation benefits, just wait for announcements especially from the Oil and Gas Companies like RasGas.

Last year, they had had a nice Summer family activities in Al Khor.

During Doha's summer, you will find that there will be less heavy traffic because most people may have already started leaving for their long vacations.

This will make everyone's Family Shopping and Discount hunting really pleasurable due to less traffic and reducing prices.

For instance, this month alone, I have noticed that there are now 4-5 parking lots available each time I arrive to work, when before I had real difficulty finding one for the past months.
