Discovering the GuaiKinima Spirit
In the Pemón dialect, GuaiKinima means “In Search of Freedom.” This profound meaning encapsulates our mission: to foster self-esteem, self-confidence, adaptability, respect for others, and a deep connection to nature in every camper. We believe that by embracing these values, children can unlock their inner strength and resilience.
