DOHA: Katara summer camp got into full swing after a new group of participants had joined the event, amid a high turnout from a variety of age groups.

Organised by the Katara Cultural Village Foundation, the summer camp features educational and recreational programmes, chiefly workshops, awareness-raising sessions, and practical training that primarily aim to hone the individual and collective skills of participants.

Through its wide-ranging programmes, the camp strives to upgrade the participants' skills and offer a fully integrated educational and recreational atmosphere. The event is due to run until August 7, four days a week.
