A month-long summer arts camp that involves “playing and having fun whilst learning a craft” is one of the summer activities for children of Silay City offered by the Tapulanga Foundation Inc., in cooperation with Bonfire Production Inc.

It is entitled The Silay Summer Workshop “10” on April 12 to May 7 and will be hosted by the St. Francis of Assisi School of Silay City Foundation and Silay Institute, Ma.Carmela Golez said.
