The Directorate of Youth and Sports in Tiaret has designed an extensive summer agenda benefiting 6,250 children and teenagers across the province. The initiative features seaside summer camps, scout gatherings, daily beach excursions, as well as cultural, athletic, and heritage exploration events, according to a statement made on Friday by the sector director, Omar Selani.
The official emphasized that this itinerary includes the departure of 1,500 youths to summer camps at Ain Brahim beach in the Mostaganem province, divided into six separate waves, alongside 600 other children heading to Ain El Turck beach in the Oran province, split across three rotations. The schedule is set to run until the end of August. He added that the initial two cohorts already reached their holiday destinations on July 8.
Furthermore, 500 members of the Algerian Muslim Scouts from Tiaret will participate in vacation encampments organized along the coastlines of Zeralda (Tipasa province) and Mers El Hadjadj (Oran province), as part of a specialized scout camp network tailored for youth and adolescents.
Additionally, coastal retreats will be hosted at the beaches of Tenes (Chlef province) and Beni Saf (Ain Temouchent province) for 650 youths selected from youth centers, scouting units, and top-performing students from the Education and Social Solidarity sectors.
According to Selani, the youth and sports authority has coordinated closely with the transport and local government sectors to map out a daily transit schedule. This logistics plan allows 3,000 young people to travel to Sidi El Mejdoub beach in the Mostaganem province under the framework of the “Blue Plan” initiative.
The layout also provides daily transportation for 400 children living in remote rural regions, granting them free entry to swimming activities across the seven Olympic and semi-Olympic pools located within the province.
These outings will be paired with excursions to historical, tourist, and recreational sites situated throughout various coastal municipalities. Children and teenagers staying within the province will also benefit from guided visits to several heritage landmarks, notably the Beni Salama fortress, the Ibn Khaldoun retreat in Frenda, the Chaouchaoua equestrian center, the ancient mosque of Tiaret, and the Bekhadda dam in the Mechraa Sfa municipality, where various leisure activities are scheduled to take place, the official concluded.
