What a great weekend was had by all, when over 50 school children arrived on Salt Cay for a fun filled weekend ...
They camped in the newly renovated salt shed, our community centre which was beautifully restored by Salt Cay Development after hurricanes Hanna and Ike destroyed the historic salt 'bagging' shed in September 2008.
It was amazing to see Salt Cay come to life with laughter and innocent fun as the children went fishing,combing the beaches, playing games, singing and swimming in the old turtle crawl by Dunstan Point. |
| HAWKSBILL TURTLE |
The turtle crawl was used in the last century to keep turtles that were often exported to other countries for their meat and well sought after shells which made intriguing ornaments and hair combs.
It was in fact Will Simmons (since passed on) husband of Ms Melvina Simmons who was the turtle agent in the mid 1900s.
The event was well planed and organized by Onward (Oats) and Violla Hamilton,Lashena Simmons,Kezzia Hamilton,Kaylathia Hamilton, Leila Astwood, Jacquiline Walkin and Berkey Williams.
Said one of the organisers"Its great to come home and show all the children the beauty of Salt Cay.They are having a wonderful time and many of the Children get to see another island which is part of their heritage .We hope to make the Fun in the Sun Camp an annual event."
