Kids' Programs
Cultivating the love for an active, healthy lifestyle.
Weekend and Holiday
Sports Camp
Tailored for families seeking an extraordinary engaging experience for their children, our camp is a gateway to create cherished memories, learn new skills and spend some quality time outdoors away from the gadgets.
Sports Camp Seychelles is a multi-disciplinary sports day camp concept, with a predominant focus on using educational activities to teach, train and develop sports and a sports culture in youth. Our goal is to inspire curiosity in kids to explore active lifestyle, love for outdoors, adventure and healthy eating.
The program’s secondary emphasis is on well-rounded education through activities like first aid training, healthy nutrition training, and visits to local art galleries and museums.
A combination of both physical and creative activities moulds into a holistic developmental approach promoted at the Sorts Camp Seychelles.
Camp day events take place during school holidays from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm and on odd Saturdays from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
To enroll their children into the Sports Camp, parents should fill out the online registration form.

Organised By
Saturday Sports Camp is a creative collaboration between the Empower Skills Development Platform and the Science & Sport Association, a registered association in Seychelles which aims to promote sports, health and education.
The current multi-sports program has been set up by coach Zaher Hamdan, who holds a Master’s Degree in Sports Science and Nutrition from France, along with diplomas and certificates in various sports such as swimming, gymnastics, athletics and physiotherapy. Mr Hamdan has coached some of the most popular athletes in Seychelles to win gold medals, including Clementina Agricole, Janet Georges, as well as rising athletes with the potential to win gold medals at the Olympic Games 2024, such as Ned Azemia.
We believe that regular exercise and physical activity not only promote strong muscles, bones, respiratory, cardiovascular and overall health, but also improve the mental health and psychological well-being. We would like to invite everyone to join our ever-growing community of people passionate about healthy living, sports, non-stop learning and self-development.
