St

Lucia resorts launches holiday teens programme

THE LANDINGS Resort and Spa has launched a new programme of activities specifically designed to engage teenagers during their stay at the Saint Lucian resort. A series of organised activities, including steelpan lessons, kayak races and cooking classes will give older children the opportunity to socialise, have fun and learn more about the island’s culture.

Starting on April 3, the Teen Programme has been curated for 13-16 year olds, with a week-long schedule of activities. Younger guests will also have the chance to learn about the history and culture of the island through its food, music and people.

Taking place each Wednesday during school holidays, teens will be joined by expert Steelpan Instructor “Zorro” (also President of the National Steelband Association), to experience the rhythm of the instrument, with an insight into the Caribbean roots of the steelpan and calypso music. Every Thursday, kids will have the opportunity to cook with a local, The Landings’ Chef De Partie, who will introduce the group to a culinary exploration of Saint Lucian fare – from the national dish of green figs and saltfish, to the staple breadfruit bowls. www.windjammer-landing.com
