Every summer in July, youngsters across New Providence and in Family Islands are offered the chance to experience a few weeks of all dimensions of arts, crafts, and sporting activity sponsored by the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture. They even have the choice of summer break booster science opportunities.

Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture Dr. Daniel Johnson on Wednesday, July 15, took members of the press on a tour of some of the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture's summer camps located at schools and parks throughout the capital. He also showed a food handler's course conducted at St. Gregory's Anglican Church.

Johnson noted camps at the parks such as softball, judo, boxing, soccer, tennis and basketball are actually held year-round to provide a possible career choice for participants, and that they are "coordinated by professionals in their fields".

The National Summer Youth Programme spans the month of July, and annually engages hundreds of young people.
