Set beneath stands of Ghaf trees at Aventura Parks in Dubai, the Forest Rangers spring camp turns a day in the desert‑edge woodland into a curriculum of practical skills and outdoor play. Designed for children aged 8 to 12, the program pairs nature exploration and environmental awareness with survival techniques, first‑aid basics, team challenges and daily zipline sessions, all monitored by experienced outdoor‑education facilitators.
