2007 Regional Mini-Camp: Atlanta, GA Jun 8-10

Children’s International Summer Villages (CISV) is an independent, non-profit, non-political, volunteer organization that offers children and adults the opportunity to make new friendships worldwide and understand and appreciate different cultures. While CISV offers many different programs, the philosophy of CISV can be summarized as a commitment to know countries through close friends rather than as abstract places on a map and to accept others without prejudice or stereotypes.

 Purpose: We see this mini-camp as a great way to prepare children and potential leaders for an international CISV experience. The mini-camp will provide an opportunity for current chapter members and those who are interested in CISV to participate in a three-day version of the village program. This program will satisfy many participant needs including those in “underserved” age groups due to program availability, those who want to participate in a program but are not ready to be away for a long period of time, or those who may not be able to participate in a longer program for financial reasons. This mini-camp will follow program guidelines similar to a village. The program will also serve to further regional friendships among our chapter junior branches.

 Delegations:  Each chapter will send a delegation(s) of 10, 11, 12 and 13 year olds along with one adult leader (21 and over) per delegation.  There must be an adult leader for every 6 youth delegates.  Delegates must be in this age range by August 31, 2006.  Delegate applicants will submit an application and should expect to be interviewed before selection.
