Ministry of Tourism expands Kids’ Tourism Summer Camp
The Department of Tourism within the Ministry of Tourism, Civil Aviation and Sustainable Development is expanding and decentralising its 2026 Kids’Tourism Summer Camp, “building on the remarkable success and growing popularity” of the event.
In a release, the Department said for the first time the camp will be delivered across multiple communities throughout St Vincent and the Grenadines, making the programme more accessible to children both on the mainland and in the Grenadines.
“The initiative reflects the Ministry’s commitment to ensuring that tourism education, awareness and opportunities reach young Vincentians wherever they live,” the Department said.
The camp, designed for children between 8 and 14 years old “will offer a dynamic and engaging blend of field trips, hikes, arts and crafts, tourism talks, interactive learning experiences and other exciting activities aimed at fostering an appreciation for the country’s tourism industry, natural environment, culture and heritage”.
It will be hosted at the following zones: Kingstown: July 27–28 Windward: July 30–31
Leeward: July 30–31 Bequia: August 6–7. Sessions will run daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The Department explained that the decision to decentralise the programme comes on the heels of significant growth experienced in 2025, when participation exceeded expectations and demonstrated a strong and growing interest among young people in learning about tourism and its role in national development.
