Campers Soar with Barbadian Culture | Barbados News

The National Summer Camp Programme ended in pure celebration at Ellerton Community Centre, where campers dazzled with Barbadian flair—dancing, stilt walking, gymnastics, and arts all infused with island spirit. From shy kids who arrived reluctantly to confident performers who stole the show, the transformation was real. Activities ranged from shaggy bear crafts to sand art and papier-mâché, with local music and even Mother Sally making appearances. With 25–40 kids and five counselors, campers like Kelianna Mason and Oliya Thorne raved about stilt walking and newfound confidence, especially with coach Michael Trotman’s guidance. Jakari Cadogan pushed through the challenge to master marching, proving that grit builds self-esteem. It was more than a camp—it was a triumph of growth, culture, and courage.
