  • Let’s Get Active

4 out of 5 children in Ireland are still not getting enough exercise* posing serious risks to their health and wellbeing. As well as physical development we also understand the importance of child well being and pride ourselves on developing the children’s self-esteem and confidence. We do this through group participation and discreetly introducing them to strategies through fun activities and games that encourage and empower them to self manage their physical well being by:

  • We know that the effects of inactivity are frightening but there is no doubt that regular physical activity has huge physical and mental benefits for children
  • Also getting out and being active is a great way to manage stress and be happier

Activ8 Camp’s 8 reasons for an Active lifestyle

As well as physical development we also understand the importance of child well being and pride ourselves on developing the children’s self-esteem and confidence. We do this through group participation and discreetly introducing them to strategies through fun activities and games that encourage and empower them to self manage their physical well being by:

  • Feel more energised- endorphins are released by the brain into the bloodstream during physical activity
  • Feel happier: reduce feelings of stress, anxiety and depression
  • Burn and generate more energy
  • Prevents sickness and illness because physical activity can help build a healthy heart, develop strong muscles and bones and may help reduce the risk of many chronic disease that can occur later in life.
  • Improves concentration and promotes better sleep
  • Helps develop friendships and improve self-esteem
  • Improve agility, balance and co-ordination
  • Contributes towards maintaining a healthy weight
