Grenada Red Cross Society

The spirit of friendship, learning, and service was on full display as the Red Cross Youth Groups of Hermitage Government School and River Sallee Government School came together for an exciting overnight youth exchange camp.

The camp provided a wonderful opportunity for students to build new friendships, develop life-saving skills, and strengthen the bonds that unite young humanitarians across our communities.

One of the highlights was an engaging First Aid session facilitated by the youth leaders, where participants learned essential skills that can help save lives and support others during emergencies. The learning continued beyond the classroom as the students gathered around the campfire to roast marshmallows, share stories, and create lasting memories.

The following morning began with energizing team-building activities that encouraged teamwork, communication, trust, and leadership. The exchange concluded with everyone enjoying breakfast together, reflecting on the experiences shared and the connections formed.

This youth exchange demonstrated the power of bringing young people together to learn, lead, and serve. We are proud of these young volunteers who continue to embody the Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross through friendship, compassion, and community service.
