The Junior First Aid Training aims to equip children with basic knowledge and skills that can make a difference during emergencies. The program aims to contribute in building safer homes, schools, and communities while encouraging a culture of helping and caring for one another.

Throughout the training, participants learned how to treat simple wounds, respond appropriately during emergencies, identify potential hazards, and provide safe assistance to family members, friends, and members of their community. These activities helped them develop confidence in applying basic first aid techniques while promoting responsibility, awareness, and concern for the well-being of others.

Congratulations to all 25 participants for their active participation and dedication throughout the training. May the knowledge and experiences gained inspire them to continue learning, serving, and becoming responsible young individuals who are prepared to lend a helping hand whenever needed.

Together, we are nurturing a generation of young lifesavers-equipped with knowledge, guided by compassion, and ready to make a positive impact in their communities.

Day 3 of the PRC-NCKCC Summer Youth Camp was a celebration of everything learned, tested, and shared.

The day started early, with campers preparing before heading into the final challenges in the morning. Energy was high as teams tackled the Amazing Race and River Crossing simultaneously. The Amazing Race brought together a series of challenges designed to test perseverance, courage, discipline, and teamwork. It pushed campers to think on their feet, support one another, and finish strong under pressure.

The River Crossing served as the final test of trust and coordination, capping off the camp’s hands-on activities.

At 1 PM, the camp gathered for the Awarding and Closing Ceremony. Council advisers expressed appreciation for the campers’ effort, growth, and spirit throughout the camp. Parents shared their gratitude for the safe, meaningful, and enriching experience their children had.

Lastly, Sir Joseph announced SUMMER YOUTH CAMP Version 2.0
, set for the same month, day, and time-May 8–10, 2027—giving everyone something to look forward to.

After clearance, it was time for the bittersweet goodbye:
Home Sweet Home.

The last day reminded everyone that endings are also beginnings—carrying forward the lessons, bonds, and courage built over three days.

New challenges unlocked as Day 2 brought out the grit, brains, and creativity of our campers!

The day kicked off with intensive Survival Skills, where campers learned the fundamentals of fire-making and how to cook above the water. Simultaneously, others faced their fears during the High Line Rescue exposure, testing their courage, focus, and trust while navigating the ropes high above the ground.

The energy transitioned from physical to mental as the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) delivered an eye-opening lecture, sparking curiosity about science and innovation. Right after, the challenge shifted to the arts! Campers huddled up for hours of intense preparation, brainstorming, and practicing for the big night ahead.

When the sun went down, the stage came alive for RCY Got Talent! The crowd erupted as participants showcased their incredible skills in singing, dancing, and acting. It was an unforgettable evening that celebrated pure creativity, confidence, and camaraderie.
