What is CISV? |
CISV International is a global organization that educates and inspires action for a more just and peaceful world through international and local educational programs for youth. Our local mini camps are innovative, fun, non-formal ‘learning by doing’ programs that illustrate CISV’s purpose and values of friendship, inclusiveness, enthusiasm, and cooperation. CISV USA has more than 20 cities that have local CISV chapters. All the CISV USA chapters in the Southern Region of the USA gather together each year for a minicamp over Labor Day weekend |
What is Mini Camp? |
Mini Camp is an incredible weekend; jam-packed with fun CISV activities, top notch educational content, awesome people, energizers galore, and so much more! Our awesome group of junior leaders are planning an amazing mini camp for you and other CISVers from the Southern Region. Fun theme: Wizard of Oz Since many of the participants are from different towns and schools, the minicamp will start with “name games” and other “getting to know you activities so don’t worry about not knowing anyone when the camp begins. Saturday and Sunday will be full days with 4-5 activities surrounding this theme. Each activity will be followed by a “debrief” where we discuss our “attitudes, skills and knowledge” that have been changed or influenced by the activity. |
