If you’ve got kids in the UAE, you already know the winter break this year is long. A full month of “I’m bored” waiting to happen. But before you start Googling indoor activities for the tenth time, here’s the good news: Absolute Adventure has stepped in with a solution that actually sounds exciting. Say hello to Hero Winter Camp 2025. Yes, Dubai is not just stopping at Summer Camps!
Hero Winter Camp 2025: The Winter Break Adventure Every UAE Kid Will Brag About
Forget your arts-and-crafts affair and think dunes, mountains, real challenges and real discoveries. That’s what Hero Winter Camp has designed for kids who love the outdoors. As someone who has seen more than a few kids’ camps in action, this one feels different.
Two Experiences, One Big Adventure
Hero Winter Camp offers two very distinct programmes: The Desert Experience in Dubai and The Mountain Experience in Kalba. Each one pushes kids to try new things, learn on the move and build confidence without them even realising it’s happening.
The UAE’s month-long school break makes it the perfect time for a reset. Instead of screen time taking over, kids can spend their days doing something far more meaningful. It’s going to be all about discovering nature, solving problems, and forming real friendships.
The Desert Experience
Set in the sweeping dunes of Dubai, this day camp turns the desert into a hands-on learning space. Each day comes with a new theme, so kids never repeat the same experience.
One day, they’re learning about wildlife conservation. Another day, they’re dusting off ancient fossils like mini palaeontologists. And then there’s the Camel Caravan Challenge, a team task that blends creativity with a bit of healthy competition, inspired by traditional Bedouin travel.
The Mountain Experience
If your child loves the idea of a proper adventure, they will love Mountain Experience. Over five days and four nights, campers take on challenges like Jacob’s Ladder and fast-paced games such as Capture the Flag.

There’s balance too. Kids will also enjoy quiet nature walks, campcraft sessions that build independence, and kayaking through the mangroves at Al Qurm Reserve.
