Shake Off the Screens: Why an Activ Summer is Crucial for Kids

Summer is here! Time for a break from school and a chance to get the kids moving. While screens can be tempting, we wanted to show you the importance of staying active and staying away from screens over the holidays.

Why Get Moving? The Importance of an Activ Summer Holiday:

Summer is here, which means it is time to get your amazing children moving! Think super-strong muscles for awesome games, hearts pumping for endless energy, and happy bodies ready for anything. All that sitting in school means they’re bursting to run, jump, and play – and getting active is the best way to let it all out! Plus, they’ll sleep like logs and come back to school raring to go. Plus, all that moving makes their brains work even better for even more fun!

Unplug! Enjoy a Screen Detox at Activ Camps:

Screens can be a quick win for entertainment, and staying connected online is part of life. But too much screen time means less active fun, which isn’t awesome for their energy levels. That screen light can also play sneaky tricks on their sleep. And while online chats are fine, real-life friend time is where the magic happens for learning how to connect. Let’s not forget those tired eyes and slouchy shoulders from too much screen staring!

Step Outside and Discover Awesome Adventures:

We don’t get much sun in London, so make sure that your children are making the most of it by getting outside! Exposure to the sun (with some suncream of course) can mean healthier bodies and happier minds. Plus, being able to explore the outdoors through a variety of activities can help to stimulate development and foster creativity and social skills!
