Grand Cayman, 18th June 2024 – The Cayman Islands National Museum Board is thrilled to announce a substantial donation of CI$15,000.00 from CICSA Co-operative Credit Union, securing their position as a major sponsor for this year's summer camp.
This significant contribution, presented on Tuesday, 18th June 2024, will enable the Museum to expand its summer camp program from two weeks to six weeks, offering more young individuals the opportunity to participate. The extended camp duration ensures that more children can enjoy a secure and stimulating environment, filled with an array of recreational and educational activities previously unavailable to many.
The donation will be allocated towards purchasing necessary equipment, supplies, and other essentials to guarantee an enriching and memorable summer camp experience. By attending the camp, children will develop a lifelong appreciation for learning about and exploring Cayman's unique natural and cultural heritage.
