NCO organizes Winter Day Camps for about 25 days during the winter vacation of the schools during January - February, at the Central Office premises of NCO at Bal Mandir, Naxal Kathmandu.
Incepted in 1992, it is one of the most popular and successful programs of NCO.
More than 100 children, 70 from communities and 30 from NCO's orphanages, were originally benefiting from the camps. However, considering the growing demands, now the intake of the camps has been increased to accommodate about 150 children since 2000.

We hope to extend the program to other districts to serve more children.

The Children's Winter Day Camp concentrates to bring out creative talents of children through competitions and programs; bringing children from various sectors of the society at one place and fostering peer relations and healthy exchange of ideas and feelings; extending support and counseling opportunities; creating a forum for children's physical, emotional and cognitive development; and utilizing the off-school days for productive and creative endeavors for the development of the children.
