More than 300 Sattahip youngsters are using their
school holidays to brush up on English, math and other subjects in a
“summer camp” offered by Khet Udomsak.
While technically not summer until the summer
solstice in June, the March 13-29 camp is patterned on summer schools
and camps in the west, where schools take breaks during July and August,
instead of Thailand’s March and April break.
Khet Udomsak Mayor Pairoj Malakil Na Ayuthaya opened
the orientation session March 13 at Sunghsamut School. Secretary Somboon
Chumpalee said 320 students had signed up for the camp, which offers
English-language, math and computer classes.
Pairoj said the city offered the camp as a way to
give kids a productive way to spend their free time and keep them away
from drugs and socially unacceptable behavior.
