The 7th International Camp of Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) for Children, under the title 'With Jordan, We Grow Up', was inaugurated recently with 100 children from Jordan and other Arab countries taking part.

The camp organised by the Social Service Directorate at GAM, targets children from the ages 9 – 13 years; and its activities will run for 3 weeks (one camp every week) with children participating from Palestine, Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Tunis, Sudan, in addition to Jordan.

The general coordinator of the Camp, Maher Al Tal, explained that the activities of “With Jordan, We Grow Up” Camp included an integrated program that meets the children's developmental and cultural needs through connecting them with service institutions in their communities such as GAM, Public Security, the Army, and Traffic Department, as well as engaging them in cultural activities such as baking, coffee, planting trees that do not require lots of water, sports, touristic journeys to Aqaba, Dead Sea and Rum.

The Camp also opens the way for the children to get oriented on other cultures, and gives each child her or his right of care and interaction.-TradeArabia News Service
