More than 200 children are taking part in the Hon. E.P. Chet Greene Sponsored Summer Camp, which officially opened on July 6 with a programme centred on education, recreation and personal development, according to Antigua News Room.
The camp serves children between the ages of five and 12, offering a safe and structured environment during the school vacation period. Organisers describe the annual initiative as a consistently popular programme among families in the St. Paul's community.
Camp Coordinator Paulette Hickson expressed gratitude to parents for their continued trust in the programme, noting that their support has been instrumental in sustaining meaningful opportunities for young participants. She reaffirmed the camp's commitment to fostering an environment where children can learn, develop new skills and build lasting memories over the summer.
Participants will engage in a diverse range of activities, including cooking lessons, sailing excursions, horseback riding and piano instruction, alongside other educational and recreational experiences designed to encourage creativity, exploration and personal growth.
Hon. E.P. Chet Greene stated that the camp's objective goes beyond traditional recreation, aiming to expose children to new experiences that help them uncover hidden interests and talents while building confidence and teamwork skills.
Organisers say the programme deliberately blends fun with learning, reflecting a broader commitment to investing in the next generation through activities that promote curiosity and lifelong development. A full schedule of activities is planned for the remainder of the summer as the camp continues to serve children across the community.
