The target audience are children ages between 7 and 14. The aim is to familiarize them about electricity and water conservation, and the environment. Year of 2020 is different in all aspect, due to the COVID 19 pandemic which shuts down any kind of physical interaction between people worldwide. These circumstances have impacted the annual habit of conducting the summer camp, however, KAHRAMAA provided alternative creative solution by holding the summer camp event on its time virtually through a website. The website provides daily and weekly activities, sport and stories which they can do safely at home and share it with other through the portal.
