CAMOLA is very involved in the community and summer is one of its most busiest periods. Members of CAMOLA look out for one another both in times of need and happiness. CAMOLA members also stretch out to the community to do philanthropic jobs whenever the need arises. Some of the major activities of Camola include;

CAMOLA Summer Cookout.
The Cameroonians Of Lowell Association usually have a cookout every summer where they invite their friends and families. This cookout usually takes place in Groton. Thanks to Sr. Marilyn Gignac, our board of trustee member who made it possible for us to be able to use the area in Groton every year. This is one of the activities where the children have so much fun and it is usually well attended. Activities on this day include soccer, volley ball, swimming, dancing and ofcourse lots of socialization. The cookout usually takes place on the third saturday of July.

City Of Lights Parade.
Lowell is known all over for its cultural diversity. The city of lights parade is a parade organized by the city of Lowell to bring all the different ethnic groups in Lowell together to promote the aspect of togetherness as well as show the cultural diversity of the city.This parade usually takes place in November and it is usually well attended. Every year, Camola participates in the city of lights parade where we have the opportunity to show our beautiful costumes to the city of Lowell. The Cameroonians of Lowell always look forward to this parade.

Summer Kick-off Party.
After going through a hectic winter, Camola usually starts the summer in a grand style. Our summer kick-off party takes place every year and all the members look forward to this occasion. It is usually well attended by all the different ethnic groups in Lowell and the surrounding cities. This party is usually planned between the months of June and July of every year.

African Festival
The first ever African festival took place on the 16th of June 2002 and it was a great success. Camola is an active participant of the African festival. The purpose of the festival is to bring all the Africans in and around Lowell together in order to celebrate our cultural diversity under one roof. The festival also helps to educate the Americans and all the others who think Africa is made up of one country to know that Africa is made up of many different countries, each with its own unique culture and style. June 16th has been granted an official day for the Africans in Lowell by the city of Lowell. The African festival therefore will be celebrated every year by the Africans in Lowell.

Meeting hosting
Camola holds its meetings every first saturdays of the month. If this falls on a major holiday weekend, the meeting is moved to the next saturday. The hosting calender is made available to all members at the beginning of the year.
