| Girls Summer Day Camp |
|
Every year, El Halev organizes martial arts camps for girls aged 7-12. Each year we hold a five-day camp during the Pesach vacation and a three-week camp during summer vacation. During the camps, the girls are exposed to a range of martial arts including: Capoeira, Taekwondo, Judo, Karate and Aikido, specially adapted to their ages and energy levels. In addition, the camp includes creative activities, outings, movies and programs in the spirit of the Far East, such as Calligraphy. One of the main advantages of the camps is that they allow the girls the opportunity to experience a wide range of martial arts at a young age. This not only helps them decide if they might be interested in continuing with one of them, but also provides a means to achieve heightened physical awareness and a healthy outlet for the release of energy. The martial arts encourage coordination, correct posture, strengthening of the body and physical fitness whilst also inculcating the important values of mutual respect, self-discipline and improvement of self-confidence and self-image. Training also provides a unique opportunity for nurturing excellence and achievement whilst maintaining cooperation and a social spirit. The self-discipline, concentration and commitment to a goal encouraged by the training, are also of great benefit to a child’s overall learning process. |
