Division of Youth

The Division of Youth is offering exciting Summer Camps with themes including “Mad Scientists” and “Island Explorers”, at a variety of conveniently located venues: Edmund Moxey Community Centre, Christ-The-King Anglican Church, and Pilgrim Baptist Church, to name a few.

Department of Sports

The Department of Sports will offer a variety of camps such as basketball, soccer, track and field, swimming, martial arts, and several other sports. There will also be opportunities to learn the valuable skills of scoring games and recording player statistics.

Division of Cultural Affairs

This year, under the theme “Committed to the Culture,” the Division of Cultural Affairs’ summer employment will take the form of a Summer Apprenticeship Programme, hosted at Mt. Carmel School, College Gardens, off Prince Charles Drive. All apprentices will be paid as they partake of the unique opportunity to sharpen their skills and receive firsthand training by industry professionals/teachers. It is preferred that those applying have existing skills ranging from moderate to advanced capabilities in these respective areas: Band (Brass and Rake N Scrape), Piano, Choir, Dance (Hip Hop, Traditional and Limbo, Fire), Art and Craft, Junkanoo Craft, Drumming, Drama, Literary and Media.

The Ministry will ensure that Covid-19 protocols are strictly enforced. We look forward to providing safe spaces for young Bahamians to have an enjoyable summer experience either as summer employees or summer campers.
