Objective 

Increase safe leisure time for vulnerable children of the neighbourhood of Clara Estrella (Santa Olga) during their summer and winter half term.

Activities 

Half-term time managed around the development of a specific chosen issue in leisure and learning.  

  • Training of camp young leaders (JOSAC – Youth of the Sacred Heart) around a specific chosen issue (e.g. water, waste)

  • Advertisement campaigns around the neighbourhood and the school (distribution of leaflets and registration forms to be signed by parents)

  • Recreational activities run by JOSAC for vulnerable children

  • Provision of 3 light snack/lunches for children in the camp  

  • Last day of summer camp to be spent in municipality swimming pool

  • Daily prayer

Outcomes

  • Children have increased their social skill between peers

  • Children have taken in transversal values

  • Children have developed a strong relationship with the camp leaders (JOSAC)
