Assisting parents who had to go to work, the summer enrichment program was open to pupils from the first to the fourth grades, while students aged 9 to 16 could attend an intensive English language camp.

The CARE camp included daily crafts, sports and games, and children could pick which activities they were interested in doing themselves.

In a nurturing way

The program was prepared to ensure that children felt supported, had fun and made lots of new friends.

All the crafts children made will be exhibited at the end of the summer.
Whenever the weather allowed it, teachers took the kids for excursions to nearby playgrounds and spent most of the day outdoors.
