INTRODUCTION:

• This camp offers excitement – new event exercises and varied movement tasks that have to be managed within a team and carried out at different locations within the event venue.

During the camp, basic athletic movements (sprinting, endurance running, jumping, throwing/putting) will be practised and experienced in an atmosphere of play and fun. The physical demands are minimal and will make it possible for each child to readily take part.

OBJECTIVE:

Our objective for organizing this camp is to achieve a mass participation in competitive athletics to achieve a learning experience, which is focused on fun rather than winning. This is to aid in the development of motor and social skills of the participants.
