Summers are meant for the outdoors. Sadly, with the urban chaos that rules Mumbai, there might not be enough space. If you are looking for something creative for your kid’s summer, the summer workshops at Uran’s Fernandes Wadi might just fit the bill. From learning the joy of seasonal cooking from co-founder Jharna Thakker to nurturing their environmental awareness with a workshop on natural soap making, these sessions cater to every interest. If your child is musically inclined, sign up for a tete-a-tete with musicians Sid Coutto and Mahua Kamat as they unravel the mysteries to a good song. Kids can also immerse themselves in the joy of handcrafting artisanal bamboo fibre creation, taught by award-winning artisans, or learn the magical language of man’s best friend. The sessions are held in the heart of a coconut grove right by the Arabian Sea to make this the perfect summer activity.
