GHP Camp in Zaton: Fair Play, Healthy Choices, and Strong Foundations

Introduction to GHP Camp

This summer, [Club Name] ran a multi-day camp designed to strengthen both the skills and the values of young athletes. The programme combined daily training in gymnastics fundamentals and general conditioning with short, age-appropriate learning blocks on clean sport, healthy lifestyles, and team spirit.

Across the camp, participants explored what fair play means in practice, why shortcuts harm health and performance, and where to find reliable information about anti-doping. Mentors guided small groups through reflection tasks and simple goal-setting, helping athletes translate lessons from the gym into everyday routines. Coaches also held a brief internal session to align on healthy-environment strategies for the season ahead.

Why this matters

Early, positive conversations about health, integrity, and personal responsibility help young athletes build habits that last. When paired with progressive skill development, this creates a safe, supportive pathway for long-term participation and growth.

What we covered

— Fundamentals sessions: mobility, coordination, body control, and safe progressions on apparatus basics.

— Clean sport awareness: fair play principles, the risks of substance misuse explained in a child-friendly way, and where to seek help or information.

— Mentoring: small-group check-ins, role-model stories, and “clean sport ambassador” ideas suited to the athletes’ age.

— Coach alignment: a short briefing on recognising early warning signs, setting clear team standards, and communicating with parents.

What’s next

Regular activities resume on 8 September.

All materials, dates, and evidence of activities will be shared step-by-step on the project’s official Facebook page.
