Healthy eating
We explore protein, fats and carbohydrates, balanced meals and eating around training. We discuss the energy in food and the needs of a growing, active body.

Learning complements training. We explore food, movement and recovery through accessible examples from daily camp life.

CRETE CAMP / EVERYDAY
Setting the table, helping a friend, noticing when it is time to rest. Everyday moments with our counsellors help children build independence and care for others.
We explore protein, fats and carbohydrates, balanced meals and eating around training. We discuss the energy in food and the needs of a growing, active body.
Theory sessions cover muscles, metabolism, the role of hormones, workload and recovery. We explain why technique and rest belong to the result.
We connect wellbeing with routines, food, hydration and rest. Questions help build a thoughtful relationship with the body.
Children take turns assisting the cook with simple preparation tasks, setting tables and clearing up after meals. Tasks suit their age and are supervised by adults. It is a practical way to learn independence, responsibility and care for the group.
We learn to read nutrition information and understand calories. We explore how the body uses energy, what muscles need to grow and how food, exercise and recovery connect.
Compulsory quiet time runs from 14:30 to 16:00 after lunch. We rest somewhere cool during the heat, then return to the pool and dryland activities. Food, water and sleep help everyone enjoy an active day.
