Every Sunday ยท Khadakwasla, Pune

Your child's brain
deserves real challenges.

Not another screen. One Sunday a month, children build, plant, paint, and think โ€” the way Jijabai raised Shivaji. Nature as classroom. Courage as curriculum.

Why this matters now

What screens are quietly doing to a growing brain.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

Research fact: Gaming releases so much dopamine that it looks near-identical to cocaine on a brain scan. Constant scrolling slowly conditions a child's brain to find nature, reading and focus boring.

โšก

Dopamine hijack

Screens trigger the same reward circuits as food and safety. The brain starts treating scrolling as essential.

๐ŸŽข

Roller-coaster highs

Rapid spikes and crashes make ordinary joys โ€” reading, conversation, a walk โ€” feel flat and unstimulating.

๐Ÿง 

Fragmented attention

Fast content trains the brain to need constant stimulation. Deep focus becomes physically difficult.

๐Ÿ˜ค

Meltdowns as coping

Depleted reserves from screen overload โ€” anger becomes the brain's way to temporarily boost energy.

One Sunday. One deep experience.

Not an activity dump. A designed day.

Most camps hand children a list of things to do. Virenyaa gives them one whole arc โ€” sensory, physical, emotional and reflective โ€” built on the panch kosha framework. Every theme is a different lens on the same deep structure.

01๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

The Five Senses

Before words, a child knows the world through touch, smell, sound, sight and taste. Every camp opens by waking all five โ€” barefoot ground, wild scents, textures, sounds no one noticed.

02๐ŸŽจ

Natural Colour Making

The Colour Finder. Children discover pigments hidden in leaves, flowers and soil, mix new shades, and paint with what the earth gives freely.

03๐ŸŒฑ

Seed to Life

Plant, water, observe. Their first real lesson in responsibility โ€” something lives or struggles based entirely on what they choose to do each day.

04๐Ÿง 

Memory & Focus

Kim's Game, blindfold trails, recall maps โ€” the spy's toolkit. Ancient techniques that rebuild exactly the attention screens erode.

05๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Build & Create

Hands that build things learn to think differently. Shelters, bridges, structures โ€” real problem-solving with sticks, mud and ingenuity.

06๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

Story & Expression

Nature debates, storytelling circles, stories lived out rather than read. Children find their voice in front of each other, not a screen.

07๐Ÿฆ

Courage Challenges

Small, safe physical dares โ€” balance, height, dark, unknown. Courage isn't taught in a lesson; it's earned in the body, one attempt at a time.

08๐Ÿง˜

Stillness & Breath

Every camp closes with quiet. Breath, sky, silence. Children learn that calm is something they can return to โ€” not something that happens to them.

09๐Ÿค

Mixed-Age Learning

Older children guide younger ones. Leadership, patience and belonging grow naturally โ€” the way village childhoods always worked.

Included with every camp

Six things your child takes home.

Not add-ons sold separately. All of this is part of the โ‚น1,499.

๐Ÿ“—

Activity book

A Virenyaa workbook to continue the learning through the week.

๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ

Nature poster

A beautiful printed poster from the day's theme, for their wall.

๐Ÿ…

Certificate

A named certificate of completion โ€” small, but children treasure it.

๐Ÿ‘•

Virenyaa t-shirt

Their own camp tee. They belong to something now.

๐ŸŒฑ

A plant to grow

Taken home, watered daily โ€” the lesson keeps living after the camp ends.

๐ŸŽ

One free future camp

Come back for a second edition free โ€” or gift it to a friend's child.

Parents also receive a dialogue guide after every session โ€” the questions to ask at home so the day keeps unfolding.
From our past camps

What a Sunday actually looks like.

Muddy hands, real focus, and the kind of tiredness that comes from a day well spent outdoors.

The philosophy

Jijabai's method โ€” 400 years later.

Virenyaa isn't built on modern education trends. It's rooted in the method used to raise India's greatest warrior-king.

Jijabai didn't raise Shivaji with textbooks. She used forests, rivers, forts โ€” and real challenges.

Every Virenyaa activity draws from that lineage: nature as classroom, courage as curriculum, character as the outcome.

Before you book

Common questions

My child is 2.5 โ€” is that too young?+

Not at all. Activities are age-differentiated. The 2โ€“4 group does sensory, hands-on work at their own pace, and a parent or caregiver is welcome to stay for the first session.

What are the timings?+

Every camp Sunday runs 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Snacks are included. The exact date is confirmed when you book.

Where exactly is it?+

Khadakwasla, Pune โ€” a home compound with open outdoor space near the Sinhgad Fort area. The full address and map are shared on booking.

What if it rains?+

Most activities work indoors too โ€” and honestly, rain is part of the curriculum. Wet mud, sound, smell: we use it rather than avoid it.

Is this like a regular summer camp?+

No. Most camps are activity dumps. Virenyaa has a clear philosophical arc โ€” each theme is a lens on the same panch kosha structure, so the day is slow, intentional, and rooted in Jijabai's method of character development.

Do we need to attend every theme?+

Not at all โ€” each edition stands complete on its own. But children who come through several themes go deeper, because the structure underneath is the same and it compounds.

What should my child bring?+

Just comfortable clothes that can get dirty, a water bottle, and a cap. Everything else โ€” materials, snacks, take-homes โ€” is provided.

Give your child a real challenge.
