Pirates of the Caribbean kiddies' camp
Bringing a sense of adventure to learning, Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo
holds the second consecutive Kiddies' Camp themed 'Pirates of the
Caribbean' on Sunday November 28. Building on the overwhelming interest
created by the Halloween Kiddies Camp held last month, the hotel
promises even more excitement with the Pirates of the Caribbean Kiddies'
Camp.

The pirates of Cinnamon Lakeside |
Hot on the heels of the announcement of Pirates of the Caribbean
sequel 'On Stranger Tides,' the Kiddies' Camp already has the pre-teens
buzzing. Children aged twelve and under, are welcome to join in the fun
as the little Pirates embark on a treasure hunt.
In keeping with the original edutainment concept by which the
Kiddies' Camp was founded, clues that lead to the treasure will be
intellectually stimulating as well as exciting to decipher. Children
will be encouraged to work in teams to arrive at the answers, each one
taking them a step closer to the elusive treasure.
This November's Kiddies' Camp will feature the extremely talented
Sulochana Dissanayake, who studied theatre and economics at Bates
College where she was first introduced to puppets as an art form. She
draws inspiration, not just from her subsequent travels to South African
and Indonesia, where she studied under Puppet Maestro Dalang Asep
Sunandar Sunarya, but also very much from Sri Lankan folk tales. She
never fails to amuse her audience with these tales related through
custom crafted puppets of Mahadanamutta and his friends, some of whom
are characters of her own invention!
She is back in Sri Lanka now to cultivate the art and will be
featured at Kiddies' Camp beginning this month. The puppets keep
children enraptured and prove an ideal medium to convey many a valuable
lesson. This segment at the Sunday camp involves a close interaction
between Sulochana, the puppets and the children where a story-telling
exercise will be conducted, appealing to the children's creative spirit.
The kids will also be given other outlets to channel their creativity
towards, with arts and craft games for which they will be rewarded with
gifts from the hotel's own treasure chest.
It's not all fun and games and Cinnamon Lakeside's Kiddies' Camp.
There will be plenty of food to snack on for kids and parents too! |
