Camp Sanguine:
With us a new chapter begins
The Ambassadors of Cayon
High (past students) implemented a camp geared
towards providing varied opportunities for a group
of current students of a lower socio-economic
status to discover their true being and self-worth.
Aptly guided by the motto 'With us a new chapter
begins' they are proud to report on a camp that
met all expectations and captured all aims and
objectives.
The venue of the Camp (2-5
June 2006) for 50 students was the Violet Petty
Primary School, Lodge Village, St. Kitts. It focused
on one main area, Decision Making (Choices), under
the sub-theme, "Don't follow the tide, U decide".
Activities of this project
included:
- Training sessions in career development,
volunteering, HIV/AIDS and lifeskills development;
- A gift-giving event at a Childrens' Home
in Basseterre;
- A 2-day community project that
involved painting the entire exterior of the
camp venue, Violet Petty Primary School;
- Commitments to post-camp activities
where participants volunteered in local community
projects;
- Closing
ceremony and awards banquet.
Participants left the camp
with a broader general knowledge but particularly
about the importance of their choices in life
and the consequences. It is hoped that they will
make informed choices for their future.
The success of the camp has
ensured that the Violet Petty Primary School will
be the venue for Camp Sanguine for the next 2
years. The camp is being organized again for 1-4
June 2007 and will continue to adopt the theme
Decision Making (Choices) under a new sub-theme
"To be or not to be". Due to the tremendous
success it is expected to attract 60 students
as it has raised the interest of other students.
"We are prepared
to start a new chapter in life and we would enjoy
doing so by creating a fun learning environment
for the present students of Cayon High."
