International Character Building Camp

The creative talented campers summer camp is back with its full force. CTC goes way back to 2005 being the first summer camp in New Cairo.  It’s unlike any other camp;  CTC is an international character building summer camp that has been running globally for the past 40 years combining arts and sports in a safe and inclusive environment.  

The camps are specially designed to develop students' life skills that will positively impact all areas of their life including studies, competitions and socialising. Arts and sports are a potent combination in raising the child’s awareness, broadening their horizons, improving self control and emotional regulation. 

We all know sports integrate discipline in one's character, but what if we tell you that the arts double the discipline. A mentally strong and compassionate individual makes a calm, composed and focused athlete, entrepreneur, doctor, engineer, director, stand up comedian, musician, teacher and the list goes on... 

The sports create mental strength, resilience, build physical stamina and endurance. The arts teach patience, empathy and kindness. All these traits exist together in balance and you have a confident, happy, focused, and successful child.

To achieve this, we focus on 5 essential life skills: 

• Confidence 

• Critical Thinking 

• Creativity 

• Communication 

• Collaboration 

This summer our character building camp runs at Les Rois Club BY SMASH offering a wide variety of activities including drama, art, dance, soccer, basket, swimming, master chef,  treasure hunts, theme and dress up days and of course daily fun team bonding activities!
