Groups of playful youngers from Fundación MIR recently participated in a summer camp in El Cacique in Casa de Campo June 13th-17th. Organized by Lourdes Fanjul, this camp brought kids and volunteers together in fun learning workshops and outdoor games, and came with smiles all around.

Around fifty children per day from pre-first, first, second, and third grade enjoyed arts and crafts, sponge-painting and drawing with bright vivid colors, and outdoor sports like basketball, football, and soccer.

They also ran around outside on the jungle gym, and indoors played games in circle group formation, took turns on the bouncy balls, and competed in Twister.  It was a day filled with no shortage of activity and excitement!

Later on, the day-camp made their way to Minitas beach where, quite impressively, there were enormous floats set up! Kids climbed the hike up to the top, and slid down in super cool fashion all the way to the fluffy bottom. There, they also had lunch and ice cream! A big shout out to all the volunteers for their assistance in such a marvelous outing for the MIR youth and Lourdes Fanjul for the wonderful event.
