A CULTURAL ART EXPERIENCE
For the Youth of the Turks and Caicos Islands
The Turks & Caicos Hospitality Adventure Committee reaffirms our mandate and commitment to the youth to provide programs and activities that lead to holistic development and empowerment of youths towards their full self- actualization and continuous participation in national development of the tourism product.
​
Through the various programs and activities we hope to ignite a spark in our youths so that they may begin to realize the urgency with which they must begin to make their voices heard , their presence felt and mobilize themselves to become more active citizens in the tourism industry where they are imminent leaders. The Hospitality Adventure Program, through our various summer camps, is one way we can do this!
ABOUT US
The seed for the program was planted in 2008 by Dekkel Simmons who expressed a keen interest in attending the Summer Training in the Bahamas. His drive and determination got him the support from the Department of Youth Affairs under the direction of Mrs Angela Musgrove, to attend the Camp further motivating him to pursue a career in the Culinary Arts field.
Dialogue with Ms Stacy Cox, GM Windsong Resort and a member of the Directors Board for the Turks & Caicos Hotel and Tourism Association, ignited further interest in developing a youth program specifically designed to create interest in the hospitality and tourism sector. Sending a larger delegation to participate in the Little Chefs Summer training at the College of the Bahamas in Nassau in the summer of 2010 seemed like a perfect way to start. The nominated students worked tirelessly raising funds to ensure that this become a reality for them.
