UAE's Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP ) has launched a virtual camp during summer vacation

The ministry officials maintained that the primary focus of the camp is to encourage children to adopt a healthy lifestyle during the summer break, and especially, amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The initiative started on July 4 and will be in progress till August 15 for children aged between six and 15.

“Together for a fun summer” is the overarching theme of the camp, which is featuring a raft of educational, physical and recreational activities, including a programme called “healthy cooking”.

The “Little Chef” programme features a series of educational classes and practical cooking workshops, including how the young participants can choose healthy products and cooking mediums.

The “Gym with You” initiative has led sports coaches to motivate children to indulge in physical activities.

A wide range of awareness workshops will also be held to discuss various health topics.
