OCP Program Brings Summer Camps to 2,000 Children in Khouribga Region
Rabat — The OCP Group's Act4Community Khouribga initiative will provide free summer camp experiences to approximately 2,000 children from rural and urban areas across Khouribga and Fquih Ben Salah provinces this summer.
Act4Community Khouribga has organized these camps since 2014, working closely with local educational associations and provincial ministry officials.
More than 15,300 children have participated in the program over the past decade.
The OCP program partners with 30 specialized associations approved by the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
Local cooperatives and textile associations also contribute by creating uniforms for participants and staff while enhancing the educational offerings.
Five-phase summer experience
The program runs in five phases throughout the summer, with more than 200 educational coordinators managing activities.
Children aged 7 to 15 come from 35 communities across both provinces, with over 60 local associations helping coordinate with families and local authorities.
The camps take place in coastal cities, giving children from inland areas exposure to new environments and experiences with peers from different regions.
Second phase launches from Khouribga
The second phase begins Monday, July 14, 2025, and departs from the Khouribga Media Library.
Eighteen associations will accompany 770 children to destinations including Souiriya, El Haouzia, Beddouza (Safi), Sidi Taibi (Kenitra), Driouch, Témara, Ras El Ma (Larache), and the Diplomatic Forest (Tangier).
Focus on child development
The program aims to develop children's intellectual and cultural skills while promoting volunteerism, citizenship, and teamwork.
Camp activities encourage cultural and social diversity through group living experiences and help children build friendships across regional boundaries.
Act4Community Khouribga designed the camps to strengthen participants' educational values around civic responsibilities and the environment.
The program also introduces children to various skills and technical knowledge they might not have access to otherwise.
Fundamental right to recreation
The OCP initiative recognizes recreation and relaxation as fundamental rights for children from both rural and urban backgrounds.
Act4Community Khouribga views childhood development as central to its mission, believing today's children will become tomorrow's leaders.
The summer camps create an environment where children can develop socially, relax, and gain new skills that contribute to their overall growth and preparation for future responsibilities. Tags: Act4CommunityOCP MoroccoSummer camps
