The NOVO Experience

What to Expect

Learning through play. Built for growth.

A growth-focused approach inspired by global practices from Stanford University.

A closer look at how children experience, learn, and grow at Novo Camps.

Our first edition brings the globally recognised Imagineerz Learning programme to India, with over 15 years of experience designing hands-on, experiential camps for children.

At Novo, children engage through stories, building, play, and collaboration while developing confidence, adaptability, and a positive approach to challenges.

The i-CAN Attitude

What Children Build Here

At the heart of Novo Camps is the I Can attitude. When something does not go as expected, children learn how to respond by moving through the

i-CAN framework

  • Inhale

  • Calm Down

  • Adapt

  • Now try

This helps children

  • build confidence

  • stay calm in situations

  • adapt to challenges

  • continue trying

How Confidence Builds Through the Week

3 Weeks | 3 Themes

The camp runs across three weeks, each built around a theme that unfolds into a story and ends with a showcase

How Campers Learn

Campers learn through experience.

They try ideas, make mistakes, adapt and try again.‍ ‍

Learning is hands-on, social, and engaging. Campers build skills while having fun, learning to be resilient and enjoying the process.

Learning That Feels Like Play

Campers are given space to participate

They choose how they want to engage, share ideas and collaborate with others.

Mixed-age groups allow children to learn from one another. Through the day, children build friendships, share experiences, and feel part of a group.

A Space to Belong

Children leave the camp with an I-CAN ATTITUDE

They discover newer versions of themselves.

Children leave with the confidence to try new things, the ability to express ideas, teamwork and collaboration skills, a problem-solving mindset, and better communication skills
