irie eco Third International Children’s Summer Program has come to an end!
The five weeks of activities have been a great success.
During our three outings per week, the children learned about whales, looked at birds, the rainforest and some beautiful gardens of Dominica. They were exposed to healthy living and to the culture and history of our island and enjoyed fun, active, challenging experiences bathing in rivers or in the sea, playing in the Botanical Gardens, discovering local food cooked on fire, horseback riding, riding ATV’s and excelling in Wacky Rollers Adventure Park.
Our expert in Art and Craft guided the participants to many creations using mostly recycled material and the Pottery experience, a first try for many, was a real success.
Our newly established “Irie Mini’s” group followed with enthusiasm and energy whenever it was possible and made an impressive collection of arts and crafts too.
The children were enthusiastic in all their “hands on” activities everyday!
