WHAT IS NATIONAL MINICAMP (NMC)?
Every Memorial Day weekend, JB USA hosts the National Mini Camp. This weekend brings together JBers from JB USA to participate in fun, educational activities that celebrate the CISV philosophy and provide an opportunity for youth to learn, grow, have fun, and build friendships. National Mini Camp is open to all JBers, age 11-25. The activities will be structured around our four educational content areas: sustainable development, diversity, conflict and resolution, and human rights.
WHY CISV University?
One of the many reasons lots of people love CISV is the learning that it fosters. So it seems only natural that at some point there would arise a “CISV University,” where CISVers from all over can come together to learn from one another! So get ready for the best for years (days) of your life, as you open the door to the world through education, dialogue, and of course, fun!
