YMCAs Pamunugama and Negombo organized a Holiday Camp, creating a memorable experience for 47 children from both communities. The event took place on the 26th and 27th of January 2024 at the YMCA of Pamunugama premises.
The primary aim of the camp was to bring together children from Pamunugama and Negombo YMCAs, creating friendship and understanding among the young participants. The programme kicked off with ice-breaking activities, allowing the children to get to know each other and form bonds that would last a lifetime.
Then the campers had a session with indoor games and camp songs. One of the highlights included a walk to the beach, where the children engaged in the traditional Elle game, a local favorite. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the participants gathered on Pamunugama beach to witness a breath-taking sunset.
The evening continued with a delicious dinner at the YMCA premises. The night came alive with entertaining performances, including songs and fun activities led by the 12 enthusiastic leaders from both Pamunugama and Negombo YMCAs.
The next day brought a blend of education and recreation. The children participated in a session on the history and values of the YMCA, followed by an engaging quiz competition. The highlight of the morning was the Photo Hunt game, where teams embarked on an exciting quest to find items from nature based on a provided list of photos.
As we reflect on the incredible moments shared during this holiday camp, we look forward to more initiatives that bring communities together, creating a positive impact on the lives of our youth. The YMCA continues to be a symbol of unity, friendship, and fun for children across Pamunugama, Negombo and elsewhere.
