The Power of Play: Why Exercise and Socialising Matter for Children

In today’s fast-paced, screen-filled world, children need meaningful opportunities to move, laugh, and connect. Regular exercise and social interaction are vital for healthy development—physically, emotionally, and socially. Active play builds strong bones and muscles, improves concentration, boosts mood, and fosters a lifelong love of movement. Just as importantly, time spent socialising helps children develop friendships, confidence, empathy, and communication skills that last a lifetime.

At Campa Craic, we know that fun is the best way to foster growth. Our multi-sports and activity camps are designed to get children moving, mingling, and making memories. Whether it's through team games, creative challenges, or outdoor adventures, kids at Campa Craic are constantly engaged in active play and positive peer interactions.

Each day offers a variety of energetic activities—from obstacle courses and sports to dance-offs and cooperative games—tailored to suit all abilities. Children are placed in supportive groups where friendships blossom and teamwork is key. The result? Happy, sweaty, smiling kids who feel a real sense of belonging.

More than just a camp, Campa Craic is a place where children can switch off from screens, move their bodies, and experience the joy of simply being a kid. It’s a safe, exciting environment where fun and friendships come naturally—and that’s something every child deserves.
