The Lagos State Government under the leadership of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the Lagos State Sports Commission ably led by the Director General, Mr Toyin Gafaar (Bolowotan) are set to hold the maiden edition of the Lagos State Sports Summer Camp.

The organiser of the event on the events dedicated website www.lagossportscamp.com on Wednesday, August 28, 2019, explained that this year’s camping will be anchored upon the need to design a conducive environment necessary for kids to come together to develop a sense of independence as they attempt new adventures away from home.

BlackBox Nigeria gathered that the camp is designed to help participants gain self-confidence as they engage in both academics, sporting activities as well as learn new life-skills.

The Lagos State Sports Commission whose main rationale is to discover and nurture young talents disclosed that the camping is not all-sport centred, as sporting activities will take about 60%, art 15%, academics 15% and life skills 10%.

“The main objectives of the camp are: to nurture social skills; model healthy living; enhance self-confidence; unplug and build friendship; nurture hidden talents; encourage personal growth; and to portray Lagos state as a body committed to developing young generation.

“This is only meant for Lagos residence between the age of 9-15 years”, the commission said.
