FREEPORT, Grand Bahama -- Summer just got a whole lot sweeter for the youngsters of Sir Charles Hayward Children's Library camp thanks to a $7000 donation from fast-growing environmental advocacy group Save The Bays.
The annual Grand Bahama camp offers traditional Bahamian activities such as boat building, straw craft, crochet and sewing in an effort to cultivate an appreciation for the history and culture of the islands at an early age.

"Save The Bays is very pleased to support this youth summer program as we all know the environment belongs to the future of this country, which lies in the hands of our children," said prominent attorney Fred Smith, QC, one of the group's directors.
This year's theme is "All About Skills" and the 5-15 year olds in attendance will be guided through a new topic each week, including a reading challenge using e-readers.
Interactive sessions on fire safety and bullying will be offered, along with a "Know Your Island" segment that takes campers to historic Bahamian sites like the Ben's Cave and Cooper's Castle.
