UAE Youth Summer Camps

Overview

In July 2026, multiple initiatives targeted United Arab Emirates youth with summer‑camp programmes. On 13 July, Canadian University Dubai organized a "Future Makers" summer camp that hosted 375 Emirati students, providing them with educational experiences abroad. Two weeks later, on 28 July, the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development partnered with the UAE Cyber Security Council to launch a youth cybersecurity track as part of the Future Entrepreneur Programme 2026 summer camp. Held across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra, the programme offered four progressive stages for participants aged four to 18, covering personal data protection, digital identity safety, and risk mitigation alongside entrepreneurship training. Both events illustrate a coordinated push to equip young Emiratis with skills for the digital economy and future business ventures.
