The Youth Services Unit is offering three competitively-priced camps for youth aged between 11 and 17 years old this summer.

The Unit’s Acting Head, James Myles said, “Our camps aim to appeal to older children as so many specifically target younger children. Given the popularity of creative, interactive cookery shows, we’ve organised two camps which will whet the appetites for all junior bakers and chefs out there Our third camp embraces Cayman’s cultural heritage and seeks to foster an appreciation of civic life while celebrating our history.

“We want youth to be entertained and engaged, while also allowing them to grow.”

Spaces are limited so booking early is advised.
