Geared towards encouraging children to stay active during their Summer break, the UAE’s biggest Sports, Health and Wellness facility, is excited to announce the launch of its Summer Camp which started last week.

Specially curated for kids of all fitness levels, from the ages of 5 to 11, the summer camp offers an array of dynamic fitness challenges and courses on a weekly basis.

The full-day camps provide a playful interactive way to help children’s development in crucial areas such as agility, coordination and reaction time. Activities on the agenda include mini marines’ games, pod war challenges, obstacle courses, tag rugby, dodgeball and relay races; all of which add value in helping children learn the importance of teamwork, social interactions and just having genuine child-like fun!

Adding to the excitement, the Wellfit Summer campers will have the opportunity to test their newly learned skills during the Wipeout Challenge, which will take place at the end of every week.

With highly experienced and professional coaches, the campers will be given invaluable guidance through their summer fitness journey in a positive and motivational atmosphere.

“We are thrilled to offer a packed agenda of summer activities for kids at our facility in JVC,” said Nikesh Naik, General Manager of Wellfit JVC.

“In our commitment to encourage active living in our community, we want to ensure that parents have an interactive space to keep their kids active, entertained and engaged throughout the summer.”

Echoing the continuous incentive of active living, family activities and camp, Director at Wellfit, Ndumiso Masango adds, “Every child deserves access to enrichment opportunities and social-emotional support. We want this program to reach as many kids in the community as possible.

“Post COVID-19, kids, more than ever, are missing time to play, make new friends and have fun exploring with others. Our aim through this camp is to provide a nurturing environment for kids to have fun, whilst learning healthy lifestyle habits.”

With an all-encompassing selection of offerings from strength and conditioning, athletic performance, mixed martial arts, ninja and obstacle courses, and boutique studios for group classes, kids aren’t the only ones that get to have all the fun this summer.

Parents alike, are welcome to immerse themselves in the Wellfit community and train whilst their kids are in the camp.

Running from Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 2pm, Wellfit’s summer camp is the ideal destination for parents to take their kids, to keep them active, entertained, and off their gadgets during the hot summer.
