The fourth season of the summer camp organised by Farjan Dubai, in cooperation with Khedmat Al Ameen and the Community Development Authority in Dubai, launches today, with the aim of providing children with a comprehensive summer experience that combines entertainment and education.
The camp seeks to develop children's artistic and life skills, and reinforce their connection to their national identity, customs and authentic traditions, within a safe environment close to their homes, supervised by young Emirati talent.
Running from today until 30 July, the camp will be held across four locations: Dubai Schools in the Khawaneej and Barsha areas, the Laysali area, and the Hatta Community Centre, targeting more than 1,000 children between the ages of 4 and 15.
This year's camp is organised with a strategic vision aimed at investing children's time during the summer holiday in a positive manner, by providing an outlet that is both entertaining and educational simultaneously, allowing them to discover their abilities and develop their skills across multiple fields. It also aims to ease the financial burden on parents by offering the camp at subsidised nominal prices, ensuring the widest possible group of children can participate and benefit.
The camp is organised by Farjan Dubai, Khedmat Al Ameen and the Community Development Authority, under the patronage of a number of entities and institutions: the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), Emirates Islamic Bank, and Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (du). All of these partners take part in delivering a variety of workshops and lectures during the camp, reflecting the scale of institutional support for purposeful community initiatives.
The camp serves as an integrated platform for promoting the balance between entertainment and learning, focusing on delivering diverse activities covering artistic, sporting and life skills, delivered by Emirati talent. This contributes to supporting young national competencies and highlighting their role in building new generations, as well as cementing community values and reviving folk heritage by introducing children to their customs and traditions through innovative and interactive methods.
The camp is built around five main pillars covering various aspects of child development. The
