The eagerness of the parents to drop their little campers and the delight on the children’s faces was proof enough that this Summer Camp was the place to experience freedom and playfulness.
With a splendid entry wherein the tiny tots rode on tri-cycles, autos and bicycles with halogen balloons tied to their vehicles gave the campers an idea of what the days ahead at the camp would unfold giving rise to their curiosity. The chief guest Remona Evette Pereira was escorted by the tiny tots along with the principal Sr Melissa, administrator Sr Carissima and co-ordinator Sr Meena.
The teachers invoked God’s blessings through a prayer song which helped the audience to experience a sense of calm and peace.

The summer camp 2022 was then inaugurated by the dignitaries by cutting off the halogen balloons from the toy vehicles, and the campers rejoicing as the balloons soar up in the skies.
