Chinanews, Beijing, August 22 – Shangdong Province conducted a survey on physical exercise of local elementary and high school students last year, finding that 70.6% of them devote too little time to outdoor exercises. Other statistics¹ also show that Chinese kids averagely play no longer than 1 hour outdoors everyday, while the figure in developed countries is usually 2 to 3 hours a day.

Nowadays the health condition of Chinese kids is deteriorating² fiercely, and most of them are nearsighted. Besides, sports can help kids learn the importance of teamwork.

Thus Shandong had recently hosted a summer camp for kids aged³ between 6 and 14, where they could enjoy sports to their heart’s content.

When leaving the camp, most kids burst into tears. “Here they had a chance of getting close to nature and doing what they wanted to,” said Wang Xiaowei, the organizer of the camp and a professional psychological instructor⁴.
