1. English Camp.
Conducted by
Regional English Support Centre
(RESC) Matara

3. Camp Workshop Concept
CAMP workshop provides children with opportunities to find
their own ways to express themselves and to expand their
circle of communication
, while having fun, through creative work , group work, and
presentation of their work.
At CAMP workshops, a greater emphasis is placed on children
experiencing the process of “thinking””making” “presenting”
and “reflecting” than on completing or refining their efforts.
Moreover we believe that the most important thing is for
children to take the initiative and enjoy the activities in these
processes.
