Thanks to sport and physical activity we see how changes are generated in society. We create values that will help children to form a lifestyle, a social awareness of their surroundings and even improve social skills because they will interact with children of their own age as well as with others of different ages.
Sport gives us a feeling of unity, of belonging to a team, and that in turn fosters respect for others. We all depend on each other to achieve the same goal and in a campsite, where there is more than one nationality, the respect we are talking about is more than present.
Why physical activity
Physical activity and sport have been present since the beginning of human history. We have seen it with the Neanderthals, the Chinese, the Greeks and even the Romans. Each of them, in their own way, promoted the values of respect, care of the body, belonging to a group, solidarity and companionship among many others.
Nowadays the way of living and lifestyle have changed a lot, but we still keep those same values. We take care of our bodies with paleo diets, we take part in crossfit, team and individual competitions. And best of all, we don't give it up even when we're on holiday.
Sport at Sènia Campsites
At Sènia we understand sport and physical activity as a fundamental right to which everyone should have access. That is why our campsites and resorts offer our clients the possibility of continuing with their sporting routines even during their holiday period. For this purpose, we provide highly qualified staff and facilities suitable for this purpose. We have gyms, multi-sports courts, supervised activities, swimming pools, nautical activities such as paddle surfing and kayaking, and many others that delight our customers.
Starting with the management and going through all the departments of the group, we form one team and we all work as one. Because our philosophy is that everyone works in the same line, we make sure that no one feels less than anyone else, and this is reflected in the good atmosphere we have in the offices.
This way of thinking is reflected in our day-to-day work with clients. Both girls and boys have the same opportunities to decide what to do and what to play, but always without excluding others around them.
Sport for inclusion
In fact, in our facilities we have lived and are living the change. We have gone from having activities for women only, as was the case with the dance classes, or for men only, as was the case with football, to almost equal numbers.
We've also noticed a radical change from playing together by country or language, to forming multi-national teams. In addition, girls and boys play together, the short ones are the first to be chosen to play basketball....
And all this is carried out in a very natural way thanks to our team of professionals. They work by encouraging cooperation, teamwork and respect for the people around us, avoiding individuality and exclusion. We are very proud of the way we are working because we see that the result is there and that change is possible.
New holiday friendships through sport
Moreover, at the Sènia Group we can consider ourselves experts in creating lasting friendships. As our campsites and resorts have a wide range of activities and sports facilities, children and adults of different nationalities share space, equipment and material without even understanding each other. And many of us who have been on campsites remember with great nostalgia and fondness all those friendships that arose from just one day of playing ball on the first day of the holiday. Some of them continue to this day.
That's where the magic of physical activity and sport during the holidays lies. We teach values such as cohesion, trust and respect no matter where you come from or who you are.
Family sports activities at the campsite
However, this work is complemented when we involve all members of the family. Mums and dads are a very important part of the sports project and that is why we create activities such as "Family water polo", "Family Games" (or "Family Cooking Day"), among others, in which fathers, mothers, grandparents, aunts... have to help and must allow themselves to be helped by their children. In this way, we teach children to interact with adults, promoting development and social skills.
But it's not just what we organise with our entertainment team. Families can also use all the facilities of the campsites to have fun together: a tennis match where parents play against their children, a swimming race from end to end in the pool, a game of petanque with the grandparents...
Moreover, we can see mothers and fathers who are always ready to help other children, as if it were a big family. And this attitude, in front of children and adolescents, shows that there are important values in society. Now we just have to know how to pass them on.
Sports cooperation for healthy relationships
Another great advantage that sport offers us are the behaviours that are generated by the feeling of belonging to a group. Feeling cared for and seeing that the other people trust you, offers that feeling of self-confidence that everyone needs to face the day to day with guaranteed success.
These relationships create a cooperative atmosphere in which each and every participant has to come up with possible solutions to resolve conflicts and thus achieve the final victory.
From Sènia and thanks to our animation partner company, GAP Serveis Turístics, we work to ensure that the union of customers who participate in our activities is positive, collaborative and rewarding.
And we must remember one very important thing: when you come on holiday to Campings & Resorts Sènia, it is to rest, disconnect and relax. So when you take part in sporting activities at our campsites, you can be sure that we do not work in a competitive sporting environment where there is stress to achieve victory. Our working environment is relaxed and fun. We create an environment for you, where it doesn't matter if you fail, because what we aim for is unity, and that the cooperation of all those who participate in the activity is present from the beginning until the achievement of the objectives.
Sports activities in the heart of nature
Finally, we could not talk about sport on our campsites without highlighting the nature that surrounds us. Working in a privileged environment such as ours, among shades of green and blue, feeling the sea breeze or the smell of the forest, is unbeatable. This setting allows people to relax and be more predisposed to everything. It is an added value for any sporting activity that you can find in our campsites, as it will allow you to practice it in the open air, with natural landscapes that breathe peace, the perfect combo for body and soul.
That's why at Sènia we recommend that you take a look at our campsites. There you will find sports and leisure activities, outdoor entertainment activities and all this in exceptional destinations. An ideal combination for you and your family to disconnect from the routine, socialise and unwittingly acquire and contribute, through sport, values that will help make this world a better place.
It doesn't matter what class you come from, the colour of your skin or your gender identity, how you dress or what you eat: it's up to all of us to make this world a safer and more inclusive place, and thanks to sport and physical activity, we are achieving this on our campsites, and we hope you will continue to do so when the holidays are over.
Feel free, practice sport!
