Caymanian games, old-time music and traditional cooking were all part of the experience for youngsters attending the Cayman National Cultural Foundation’s annual summer camp.
On Friday, 75 students took part in the end of camp workshop at the Harquail Theatre in a program that featured traditional songs and activities.
The camp, held annually in August, engages youths, ages 6 to 16, in the visual, traditional and performing arts of Cayman’s cultural heritage.
