REGISTER FOR YOUTH, LEADER
& PARENT DEBRIEF
All leaders, delegates that traveled to CISV programs this summer, and their parents should attend the debrief. We will discuss their summer experience, their suggestions for the future, and planning for the upcoming volunteer year.
SEMINAR CAMPS AROUND THE WORLD
Jacksonville is honored to have 5 youth selected from our chapter to represent the USA at seminar camps:
Chattanooga, Tennessee
Malmo, Sweden
Campinas, Brazil
Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Isere, France
all 25 USA chapters.
Seminar camps are personally challenging, intensive programs coordinated by the 16-17 year-old participants. They develop their own agenda and explore global issues based on their backgrounds and interests through activities and in-depth discussions. Seminar Camps are for 30 international participants with the supervision of international adult staff. Seminar Camp’s group-living environment encourages participants to take a creative and cooperative approach to problem-solving and resolving differences that can arise from healthy discussion. Friendship and fun ensure that the Seminar Camp experience is lasting and positive.
Graz, Austria Interchange in Jacksonville
Our interchange delegation has been very busy exploring the Jacksonville area and experiencing our local culture. The delegates and their host families have been to the beach, explored St. Augustine, attended the Austrian National Night, and were featured at the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp game during their first week here. This past weekend was spent with their host families on individual activities. Volunteers from our chapter will host a mini-camp for the group this week.
