Day Camp ENG

VIDEOCLIP FROM SUMMER CAMP

School is out. Sunny summer vacation has started, full of energy and fun activities with our friends of old and new. It’s intense days at the pool, sports days, days that we learn about our culture, our traditions, horse-riding, canoeing, lasertag, singing, excitement. So many daily choices and fun. Day camps are the best things our vacations have. It is time.

This Day Camp has an open program of activities, in the morning and afternoon, where kids from 6 to 14 years olds have educational experiences, in the greater Lisbon region. It’s comprised of multi-disciplinary activities with an upbeat rhythm and constant safety.

The camp has several pickup / drop-off points in Lisbon (Av. João XXI, Av. 5 de Outubro, Restelo), Queluz and Amadora, or other points that prove useful.

The concept for this camp is to be versatile and dynamic throughout several weeks, as to provide the kids with diverse spaces and activities.

This Camp has been a part of our Association for more than 17 years, with tremendous success, providing youngsters constant daily fun without sleeping over. Every single day is an adventure. This year we will introduce new cultural, musical and sports activities as to further enrich our already activity-packed program that grows and expands the mind and body of our participants.

Camping (optional)

As to provide new activities for the children, Pranima has developed a new optional program, to be held in the evening of Thursday to Friday, without any extra costs, at the Lisbon Day Camp.

This activity will allow all children to integrate gradually and dynamically in the spirit of an Overnight Camp, promoting autonomy and responsibility in each participant, as well as a different contact with nature, a new adventure that allows them to explore other activities and personal capabilities.

The PNEC Costa da Caparica – Scouts National Park – is the most suited place for this experience, as the whole Park has been developed to provide a great Camping experience for children and youngsters.

• It is a familiar place for most children;
• It is a fenced park with good illumination;
• The park possesses all the needed facilities;
• It is inserted in a green wooded area;
• Location is close to several major utilities, as Hospitals, health centers and urban commodities in case of need;
• Meals will be added – dinner and late supper – to the existing meal schedule. In case you choose to opt out of the Camping (overnight) activity, the day will have the regular schedule as posted, and will have normal Day camp activities and services as scheduled.

Specific Goals:

• To provide leisure, fun moments;
• Occupational activities for children / youngsters, giving them unforgettable summer vacations;
• To stimulate kids with cultural and sports activities;
• To offer participants the possibility to explore a wide range of activities in the greater Lisbon and Setubal area, always in a playful activity;
