In an exciting move to inspire creativity and environmental awareness, Yas Theme Parks has launched the innovative “Yas Island Summer Camp,” taking place from July 7 to August 22. This summer camp aims to enhance environmental consciousness among children while providing interactive scientific and entertainment experiences. It promises unforgettable memories and a rich entertainment program designed to offer a unique platform for kids to explore science, marine biology, physics, and the art of storytelling in a safe environment.
A Unique Location
On the occasion of the “Yas Island Summer Camp” launch, Diana Taylor, Vice President of Operations, Innovation, and Transformation at Miral, stated, “The summer camp aims to provide a comprehensive experience that combines entertainment and knowledge.” The camp, set in a unique location amidst five world-class amusement parks on Yas Island, features an array of interactive programs that stimulate curiosity and enhance creative thinking. The activities transform traditional summer fun into exciting educational adventures, focusing on skill development through play, storytelling, science, and exploration.
Inspiring Experiences
Discussing the notable summer activities offered by Yas Theme Parks during the camp, Taylor noted that “Ferrari World Abu Dhabi” presents integrated experiences that blend speed, excitement, and creativity in a summer program filled with challenges. The event kicks off with special group challenges that provide opportunities for new friendships, followed by an exciting adventure designed as a treasure hunt filled with puzzles and surprises. She added that children will unleash their imaginations by designing their own rides inspired by the thrilling curves and loops of Ferrari World, alongside exploring skills in video games at the Ferrari Esports Arena.
Teamwork Activities
According to Taylor, children at the “Yas Entertainment Camp” can participate in thrilling water experiences at Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi, combining adventure, entertainment, and exploration. They will also engage in the interactive game “Splash and Match,” which fosters teamwork and collaboration. Moreover, she pointed out that the summer camp incorporates a cultural and heritage aspect, enabling children to partake in the “Pearl of the Past” event at Yas Waterworld. This activity allows them to explore the history of pearl diving and learn about the traditional maritime culture of the UAE in an engaging, interactive manner.
Exciting New Horizons
Taylor highlighted that at SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, children will discover the underwater world through close encounters with various marine life and innovative activities like building ecosystems using recycled materials. In addition, at CLIMB Abu Dhabi, they will learn the principles of physics and aerodynamics through indoor free-flying experiences and wall climbing. In Ferrari World, young campers will design their own roller coaster models, applying engineering concepts and problem-solving skills. These experiences serve as a balanced model that merges learning and fun seamlessly.
Diverse Activities
Children will enjoy a unique array of activities at Yas Theme Parks, with camp sessions running from 9 AM to 2 PM, Monday to Friday. The diverse schedule includes warm-up exercises, interactive treasure hunts, creative workshops, physical challenges, and cultural storytelling sessions. Diana Taylor pointed out that the “Yas Island Summer Camp” targets children aged 7 to 13 years and relies on active partnerships among the operations team and experts from various fields, including educators, family entertainment artists, scientific material specialists, and marine biologists from SeaWorld Abu Dhabi. This collaboration is designed to create engaging educational activities that cater to the unique needs of different age groups, integrating knowledge with entertainment naturally.
Similar to the school educational programs organized by Yas Theme Parks throughout the year, the summer camp promises every participant an adventurous and refreshing educational experience.
