The final Saturday of our PAMANA Summer Day Camp was August 15. Let’s give ourselves a big round of applause—we made it! What a productive and meaningful summer of learning we shared together.
We sincerely thank everyone who made this summer camp possible.
To our campers, congratulations on completing the PAMANA Summer Day Camp! We are incredibly proud of you. We hope you enjoyed the classes, learned many new things, and will always remember the wonderful experiences you shared with us.
May this summer become a special memory that you will carry with you. Someday, we hope you will proudly say, “Hey, I attended the PAMANA Summer Day Camp, too!” Well done for learning about and embracing your Filipino culture!
To our campers’ parents and guardians, thank you for registering your children and patiently bringing them to camp every Saturday. Your support meant so much to us. We hope to see your children continue participating in PAMANA through our choir, dance group, and other cultural programs.
To our wonderful counselors, thank you for your dedication and for generously sharing your knowledge, talents, and passion for teaching. You are helping our younger generation preserve and carry on our Filipino culture, even while living far from the Philippines. A special shout-out also goes to your husbands for their involvement, patience, and support!
We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center for allowing us to use its beautiful space and for partnering with us in our mission to educate and inspire the younger generation. Thank you so much for your support. We hope to work with you again in the future!
Thank you to Las Islas Filipinas LLC for generously providing snacks for our campers and to all the parents who brought food to share. We also thank our volunteers and fellow PAMANA board members for giving their time and assisting us throughout the camp.
Lastly, a huge shout out to United Way, Madison Gas and Electric, Dane Arts, Wisconsin Arts Board, Madison Arts Commission, and Summit Credit Union for your generosity and support.
High five to all of us! Together, we created wonderful memories filled with learning, laughter, friendship, and Filipino pride.
Congratulations again to all our campers, and maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat! 🇵🇭🎓
