With schools across the UAE set to close for the summer, several educational institutions and creative hubs are launching structured activity programmes designed to keep children engaged throughout the extended holiday period. Among the notable offerings this year is the Melodica Music Academy Summer Camp, catering to children aged 4 to 10 and running from June 30 to August 29, 2025, across several branches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Melodica Music Academy, one of the region's largest award-winning music and dance academies, has announced a nine-week themed summer camp program focused on music, dance, arts, and creativity, aiming to provide children with a balanced blend of fun and structured learning. The camp is held at indoor branches of Melodica Music Academy, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment during the peak summer heat. It offers half-day sessions from 9:30am to 1:00pm, filled with engaging activities. Children will explore musical instruments such as the piano, guitar, drums, and violin, and take part in various dance styles including ballet, Zumba, and hip-hop. The programme also includes arts and crafts sessions, along with fun themed dress-up days to spark creativity and imagination. According to Melodica's educational team, the programme is designed not only to introduce children to music and dance but also to enhance soft skills such as self-expression, coordination, and social interaction. Each week carries a new theme, allowing children to explore various aspects of creativity. Pegah Mariyam, director at Melodica and an award-winner in music education, said: "Our goal is to help children explore new interests in music and dance, build confidence, and form lasting friendships in a vibrant, multicultural environment. Summer camps like these play a vital role in keeping children socially and cognitively engaged during the long summer break. They not only nurture creativity and discipline through music and dance but also foster emotional well-being and self-expression. At Melodica, we believe in holistic development, and our summer camps are designed to inspire, educate, and empower young minds." Melodica's summer camp is part of a wider trend in the UAE, where institutions are expanding their summer programming to include more experiential learning opportunities. With an increasing number of parents seeking alternatives to screen time during the break, camps that combine education with music and dance are gaining popularity. The locations for this year's camp are: Abu Dhabi Mall (Abu Dhabi) Motor City (Dubai) Deira City Centre (Dubai) Nakheel Mall on Palm Jumeirah (Dubai) Silicon Central (Dubai) The academy reports a consistent year-on-year increase in demand, attributing it to the program's structured environment and highly qualified instructors, which have led many parents to re-enroll their children annually. Melodica also highlights the camp's inclusive approach, designed to reflect and celebrate Dubai's diverse demographic. Afshin, CEO of Melodica Music Academy, noted: "Camps like these give children an outlet for creativity, but more importantly, they provide continuity in learning in a way that's engaging and developmentally appropriate." Registration is now open and runs on a weekly and monthly basis, offering flexibility for parents planning their summer holidays. The camp is fee-based, with a weekly cost of Dh570 + VAT.
