Event details

Free initiative takes place in Cantanhede and is intended for young people from 8 to 18 years with disabilities eligible to practice paralympic modalities.

The Portuguese Paralympic Committee (CPP) and the Portuguese Federation of Sport for Persons with Disabilities (FPDD) promote, between 2 and 5 September 2026, the Youth Paralympic Camp, an initiative that aims to make paralympic sport known to children and young people, through a multisport experience in an inclusive environment.

Over four days, participants will have the opportunity to experience different Paralympic modalities, develop personal and social skills, promoting autonomy and regular practice of sports activity, and contact with the context of high Paralympic performance, always with specialized technical support.

In addition to the educational and recreational component, the Youth Paralympic Camp is also an opportunity to identify young people with potential for sports and promote their referral to clubs, development programs and sports training paths appropriate to their abilities, interests and potential.

The camp will take place at the Rovisco Pais Rehabilitation Center, in the municipality of Cantanhede, and will culminate with a moment of conviviality, sharing and inspiration with young athletes and talents of the Paralympic movement.

Participation is free of charge, including transport, accommodation adapted to the needs of the participants and food throughout the initiative.

Registration is limited and runs until August 7, 2026, through the form available in this link. Vacancies are limited and selected participants will be contacted later to confirm their participation.
