Childhood obesity is a growing problem, with over 42% of boys and 11% of girls ages 5-8 not meeting the CDC's daily exercise recommendation of 60 minutes. Sports camps can help address this issue by providing physical activity for kids and teaching important life lessons. Sports camps have benefits like reducing health risks, improving social and learning skills, and allowing kids to try new activities. Afterschool.ae is a site that offers after school programs and summer camps, including sports camps, to promote healthy development for children in the UAE.
