Kiddies' Camp goes hunting for talent

Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo:

In an interesting twist, this month at Kiddies' Camp the children will provide the entertainment instead of the adults. Having discovered the wealth of talent amongst the young children who frequent the event, the Kiddies' Camp organizers have put together a Talent Show on July 23 from 3 pm to 6 pm in the hopes of cultivating these gifts.

The show is segmented into three categories - singing, dancing, art and recitation, with each child being allowed to participate in one category. The children will be given a minute each on stage to impress the judges for the singing, dancing and recitation categories.

For recitation, children may choose to recite verse or prose. Those singing and reciting may carry a paper with their song, verse or prose in writing. To submit an entry for the art competition, children will be provided with art supplies and will create their work of art unassisted. The kids will not be permitted to bring their own art supplies into the drawing area.

A friendly and extremely gifted panel of judges comprising Angela Seneviratne, Koluu and Danu Innasithamby will be brought in to select a winner for each category.

A prize will be awarded to each of the winners and every contestant will receive a prize for participation. Enrollments are underway on a first come first serve basis and children may sign up by contacting Michelle Wahid on 2491016.

For children who would like to attend Kiddies' Camp but not take part in the show, they may join in on the games that have been organized, have fun on the bouncer, get a customized magic balloon made for them by an artist, watch the Talent Show and enjoy the buffet of snacks on offer.
