Apple Camp is back in the UAE this summer, and registration opens today, 1 July at apple.com/ae/today/camp. It’s a free 90-minute hands-on session for children aged 6 to 10, built around this year’s theme, “Create a Superhero to Help Others on iPad.” According to Apple’s communication, kids will use Freeform and Apple Pencil Pro to draw, photograph and tell stories, guided by Apple Creative Pros — and parents get a briefing on Apple’s approach to keeping families safe online.
The headline for UAE parents: it costs nothing, and the only barrier is a registration link that goes live on 1 July. If you’ve been hunting for a structured, screen-time-that-works activity for the summer, this is one that comes with Apple staff running it rather than a device dumped in a child’s lap.
What is Apple Camp UAE
Apple Camp is a free, guided creative session for children aged 6 to 10, part of Apple’s Today at Apple programme of learning experiences. Each session runs 90 minutes, and children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. This summer’s edition centres on designing superheroes on iPad — a theme Apple frames around helping others, which is a nice touch for the age group.
Today at Apple is Apple’s long-running free series of workshops covering photography, music, coding and more. Apple Camp is the kid-focused strand of it, and it runs during the summer break — the natural window for keeping younger children occupied.
What kids will do in the 90-minute session
Children will use iPad with Apple Pencil Pro and the Freeform app to design a superhero and send it on a mission to help others. The work combines drawing, photography, storytelling and emoji, and kids build their own “superhero crew” collaboratively.
Freeform is Apple’s free app that acts as a flexible, collaborative canvas — you can sketch, write and build digital pinboards holding different file types. In practice, the session is less about following a rigid worksheet and more about giving children a blank space and the tools to fill it. Apple Creative Pros — the store staff who run these workshops — guide the group throughout, with the stated aim of building creativity, confidence and collaboration.
How much does Apple Camp cost
Apple Camp is free. There is no ticket price and no cost to attend — the only requirement is registration, which opens on 1 July at apple.com/ae/today/camp. As with all Today at Apple sessions, it’s part of Apple’s free learning programme.
How to register for Apple Camp UAE 2025
Registration opens on 1 July at apple.com/ae/today/camp — that’s the UAE-specific link, so bookmark it if you want a slot. Apple hasn’t published the number of available places, so if past demand for free family sessions is any guide, signing up early is the safer bet.
Apple hasn’t specified which UAE store locations are hosting the sessions, exact dates beyond the 1 July registration opening, or session times. Those details should surface on the booking page once it goes live. If your child sits at the edge of the age range, note it’s built for 6 to 10-year-olds specifically.
The child safety angle parents should note
Alongside the creative activity, parents attending get a chance to learn about Apple’s approach to helping families manage technology safely — including new child online safety features Apple says are coming to its products later this year. The source doesn’t detail those features, and we won’t guess at specifics, but the parent briefing is a genuine reason to attend beyond keeping a child busy for an afternoon.
This lands at a moment when UAE families are weighing screen time and digital wellbeing more carefully than they used to. A free session that hands parents direct information rather than a marketing leaflet is worth an hour of anyone’s summer.
