GuyOil summer camp to champion mental health, talent & leadership

The Guyana Oil Company (GuyOil) is lending great focus towards mental health and wellness with the launch of its upcoming summer camp, aimed at building a brighter future for youths. Over the course of the five-day camp, participants will be grouped into two age categories 6–11 and 12–16. Campers can look forward to engaging in exciting and fun activities designed to promote personal growth and well-being. Speaking at the launch of the event, GuyOil’s Marketing Manager, Vanessa Madramuthoo highlighted the camp’s focus on mental health: “We have activities centred on mental health, which will help you navigate challenges in school. We understand that sometimes you may face peer pressure or other difficulties.” For the 6–11 age group, the camp will feature storytelling and creative writing activities, a road safety demonstration and talk, art and craft sessions, painting and a spelling bee. Additionally, there will be great prizes to be won.

For the energetic teenagers aged 12–16, the programme includes leadership and public speaking workshops. To top it off, there will be a career talk to explore future aspirations and a cooking day. “We will have a showdown of your talent. So, be prepared. Whether it’s discovering a new talent or making new friends,” Madramuthoo added.

She also expressed pride in the initiative.
“We are incredibly proud to offer this experience to the children of our GuyOil family. I must mention that you are lucky and fortunate to be here because this camp is extended to GuyOil employees. With the support of our General Manager, staff, volunteers, and community partners, we look forward to a memorable week ahead.”
