Here are the 2015 Belize Eco Kids Summer Camp Winners!
Officially known as the Children’s Summer Camp Scholarship Program, this annual event gives 24 young Belizeans between the ages of 8 and 13 a chance to learn about their natural world through a mix of adventure, social interaction, and fun filled applied education – all aimed at instilling a sense of wonderment in the unique cultures that constitute Belize and the environment that sustains us all.
The Eco Kids are selected after submitting a 300 word written essay which is reviewed and shortlisted by the Chaa Creek scholarship committee with the winners going on to attend the week long summer camp. Chaa Creek will be providing all lodging, three healthy meals and snacks each day, structured educational activities, arts and crafts materials, tee shirts, 24-hour camp counsellor supervision, and guided tours conducted by licensed naturalist guides.
We want to congratulate all 24 kids who have been selected winners of our Eco Kids Essay Competition from more than 150 entries countrywide.
These lucky children have won a one week Eco Kids Summer Camp Package which is scheduled from July 19th to the 26th, 2015.
