As the city prepares for a peak summer in May, scores of children are using their vacation to join parents and grandparents on the Sunday riverfront nature camp organised by the Swim and Rescue Academy of Amaravati Walkers And Runners Association (AWARA).
The event starts with a sand run under the vaaradhi on the south bank of the river Krishna on Tadepalli side. Every child is accompanied by a parent or a grandparent during a three-hour programme, packed with run-walk-talk-sing-swim training sessions.
“Cooperation is a fine art and children seem to perform better in any joint activity with their parents,” says Ajay Katragadda, environmentalist and founder of AWARA, explaining the objective behind organising these parent-child nature camps every Sunday.
