The story
What Umang actually is
Umang — A Creative Summer is JAY's learning summer camp, held from 17 to 23 May 2026 in Nokha. Umang means enthusiasm, and that is the entire brief: take the long empty stretch of the summer holidays and fill it with things worth waking up for.
The camp runs six distinct modules across the week — art, sketching, brush calligraphy, crochet, yoga and, in a nod to the world these children are growing into, a set of AI classes. Children rotate through them, try things they have never tried, and find out which one they are quietly good at.
Every module is led by mentors from within the community, and every child who completes the camp receives a certificate of participation — handed over in front of family at the closing ceremony. For a lot of them it is the first certificate with their name on it.
