The campers also participated in field trips that included; touring various historical landmarks around Nassau, a trip to the main New Providence Fire Department, making Junkanoo pieces with Arlene Nash Ferguson at Educulture and meeting dolphins face-to-face at Dolphin Encounters on Blue Lagoon Island.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSetting the foundation for our future begins with our youth,\u201d said Hubert A. Chipman, Member of Parliament for the St. Anne\u2019s Constituency, who along with his wife Roxanne, created the summer camp program. \u201cWe promised our constituents that we would focus on what is most important to them and certainly their children\u2019s education is a high priority. Our program was planned to develop the child, both academically and socially in a clean, safe, educational environment.<br \/>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-24015 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/2012\/07\/st-annes-constituency-holds-first-summer-camp\/summercamp-1'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/summercamp-1-150x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-24017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/summercamp-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/summercamp-1-250x166.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/summercamp-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-24017'>\n\t\t\t\tStudents of the St Anne\u2019s Constituency Summer Camp learn to make jewelry with beads from camp volunteer Karen Archer.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/2012\/07\/st-annes-constituency-holds-first-summer-camp\/summercamp-2'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/summercamp-2-150x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-24018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/summercamp-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/summercamp-2-250x166.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/summercamp-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-24018'>\n\t\t\t\tHubert A.

We are pleased to report that our campers also participated in discussions pertaining to conflict resolution techniques, both in and outside the classroom.\u00a0 It is our hope that our campers will grow to be become productive citizens who will contribute to the development of their country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The St. Anne\u2019s Constituency Summer Camp curriculum was designed by Roxanne Chipman, a former schoolteacher for many years at St. Augustine\u2019s College and current owner and administrator of Gleniston Centre For Learning, Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur summer camp was offered free of charge and we were committed to giving students an educational program that reinforced the basics but also offered them time to have fun, exercise and enjoy interesting fieldtrips,\u201d added Mrs. Chipman. \u201cWe were so pleased to see their progress throughout the camp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Chipman, along with volunteers Joia Archer and Dedrie Woods, ran the summer camp with the assistance of high school students who donated their time and received community credits. Other volunteers assisted and St. Anne\u2019s constituents along with the Inner Wheel Club of East Nassau donated snacks and drinks for students for the four weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are grateful to our volunteers, sponsors and the wonderful constituents of St. Anne\u2019s for their continued support,\u201d added Mr. Chipman at the end of camp appreciation ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe especially thank Father Hugh Bartlett of St. Anne\u2019s Anglican Church for his support and the use of the beautiful community centre. The first St. Anne\u2019s Constituency Summer Camp was a tremendous success and we hope to enlarge our student and volunteer base to accommodate more students in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the St. Anne\u2019s Constituency visit the headquarters located on Johnson Road, call\u00a0 364-4884 email at hachipman at coralwave.com, or \u201cLIKE\u201d Hubert A.
