Welcome to Winter Camp 2026: Winter Under the Sun
By Blossom Nurseries and Preschool
This winter, children will journey across the seven Emirates, discovering the UAE’s diverse landscapes, wildlife, traditions and natural wonders during the cooler season.
Rooted in our science-backed Sustainable Education® approach, Winter Under the Sun celebrates the beauty and diversity of winter across the UAE, encouraging children’s curiosity, creativity and connection with nature.
