Fitness
Move properly
Zumba, and Taekwondo taught by the same government-recognised belt-certified instructors who run our year-round programme — not a holiday demonstration.
Annual programme
One of the longest-running and most coveted summer camps in Lucknow.
Two weeks every May, tailor-made for young stars aged 3 to 12 — and open to every child in the city, not only our own. A certified course designed to find out what your child is good at, rather than to keep them occupied.

The idea
Get your child’s latent talent explored
Most summer camps are childcare with a timetable. Ours is a two-week certified course built around a single question: what is this child actually good at, that nobody has noticed yet?
Every child takes part in all the activities, regardless of age group. A shy six-year-old who has never spoken in front of a room does elocution. A boy who has only ever played football does origami. The point is the discovery, and discovery only happens when a child tries something they would not have chosen.
It runs in the evening, 5.30 to 7.30, so it fits around family holidays and the heat of a Lucknow May. Children who don’t attend Banbury Cross are welcome — a good number of our admissions each year come from families who met us at camp first.
The programme
Children of any age group take part in all of it
Personality Development
Be understood
Public speaking. Elocution and diction. Etiquette and manners. Learning Beyond Books. The skills that decide whether a bright child is heard.
Creativity
Make things
Drawing, DIY craft, colouring and origami art — hands busy, screens away, something to take home at the end of every session.
Added attractions
Have a blast
Interactive music sessions, a pool party and a rain dance. Because it is May in Lucknow, and two weeks of pure instruction would be a waste of a childhood.
