Summer means fun, relaxation, and new experiences, and at the Rafa Nadal Foundation, we want to ensure that all children and teenagers can enjoy it to the fullest. That is why, as part of our Play All project, developed in Barcelona in collaboration with Fundació Tennis Barcelona and with the support of Nike, we have organized summer schools specifically designed for the children we serve during the school year in Play All schools.
A Summer of Tennis and Fun
Our “Summer Camp” is an innovative proposal that combines tennis practice with a variety of recreational and healthy leisure activities. During the mornings in July, participants enjoy a structured program in different shifts, ensuring that each child and teenager has the opportunity to make the most of this unique experience.
The goal is to offer a healthy and enriching alternative during school holidays, while also facilitating family work-life balance.
Tennis as a Development Tool
Tennis is an activity that not only promotes physical activity but also teaches fundamental values such as sportsmanship, teamwork, effort, and commitment. In our summer schools, children have the opportunity to improve their skills in this sport while developing abilities that will be useful in all aspects of their lives.
Recreational Activities and Healthy Leisure
In addition to tennis, our “Summer Camp” includes a wide range of activities designed to foster the social and emotional development of the participants. Cooperative games, dynamics, and recreational activities are prepared so that each day is a new adventure. These activities are intended to be fun and educational, providing children with a safe and stimulating environment where they can learn and grow.
Invaluable Support
This project would not be possible without the valuable support of Nike and the collaboration with Fundació Tennis Barcelona. Nike, with its commitment to sports and youth, has been a fundamental pillar in the realization of this program and also the Summer Schools. Their support allows us to offer an accessible and inclusive program, ensuring that all children, regardless of their background or circumstances, have the opportunity to participate.
Facilitating Family Work-Life Balance
We know that school holidays can be a challenge for many families in terms of work-life balance. Our “Summer Camp” not only offers a healthy and fun option for children but also provides parents with the peace of mind that their children are in a safe and supervised environment where they can enjoy and learn at the same time.
At the Rafa Nadal Foundation, we are committed to the well-being and development of young people. The summer schools of the Play All project are a testament to this commitment, offering children from Carmel, Zona Franca, and Vall d’Hebron an unforgettable experience during the summer holidays.
