BOSCO Youth Services, Bangalore organised a three-day Residence Camp for BOSCO Kids in High Schools. It was held at Don Bosco, Tumkur from 9 to 11 October. About 150 BOSCO Kids from different parts of Karnataka took active part in the camp. They were assisted by 15 animators.

Inaugurating the Holiday Camp Rev. Fr. Thomas Myladoor, Former Salesian Provincial of Bangalore province, exhorted all the participants to make the best use of the opportunity. He welcomed all the children and staff from different schools to Don Bosco family and made them feel at home by spending time with them. Fr Geo, the administrator, proved excellent in rendering Salesian hospitality to all the participants.

Personality Development and God Experience through cheerfulness were the main themes running through the camp. Fr John Peter, Fr Anil D’s, Mr Jayaraj, Mr Sampath and Mr Prashanth were the main resource persons for the sessions. Thrilling party songs, games, value games, presentations, campfire, treasure hunt etc… made all the participants jump with joy.

“I have never experienced such joy in attending a camp. It was a wonderful experience of learning through fun,” said Adarsh from Mariam Nilaya School, Bangalore. “I feel so happy in the company of BOSCO Family. There is so much joy in being with children and I am leaning many things,” was the comment of Mrs Joseline, BOSCO KIDS animator of Gulabi School, Bangalore. Children were sad to leave the campus on the last day. “I have made many friends from different schools; we were here like members of one family,” said Preethi from St Rock’s School, Bangalore as she bid farewell to all friends.
