Many children expressed their gratitude to the Mayor for receiving them and for giving them the chance to participate in the Camp, and to know the City identity and Jordan's culture.

The children also watched one of the World Cup games at the outdoor theatre through a big screen provided by GAM, and following to the Mayor's directions, so that children can catch up on the most important sport events.
The Camp focuses on engaging children in activities with small groups in warm and calm atmosphere, enjoying their time with other children from Jordan and other countries, regardless of their nationalities and cultural backgrounds.
