Moodubelle, 09 May 2012: Around 70 children, students from 6th to 10th standard enthusiastically participated in the three daylong multipurpose Summer Camp organized from May 7 to 9, 2012 in St. Lawrence PU College Hall. The camp was conducted by Brothers Mahesh, Roy, Ivan and Vijeth under the direction of Fr. Lancy Saldanha. Each of the three days, the camp began at 9 am and ended at 4.30 pm.

The chief aim of the Summer Camp was to make the  students aware of the new method of prayer and teach them how to pray, to  introduce them to Bible study, to enable them to participate meaningfully in the Mass, to develop their personality through their participation in various activities including games, singing and action songs as well as quiz competition. Students participating in the camp were provided lunch.
