Participants in Seminar Camp must be age 16 or 17 on the day of departure for the program and on the last day of the program.
Please see the application for the dates and locations for seminar camp. Participants are chosen at the CISV USA level.
The application should be completed by the youth applicant (not their parent), and the youth applicant should be responsible for corresponding by email with CISV USA Seminar Camp chair. The CISV Seminar program is designed to develop delegates as leaders and self-advocators. This begins with the application process, meaning all communication should come from the delegate’s own personal email. As delegates will be traveling alone, most likely internationally, they should have their own email and be able to do this.
Applications for 2027 are online through CISVUSA’s Compass system.
Read the step-by-step guide on how to fill out the online application using this link.
The complete application must contain all of the following:
- The entire application packet with full preferences completed.
- Long essay and short response questions
- Proof of Age (copy of driver’s license, birth certificate or passport)
- Two personal recommendations (teachers, coaches, former leaders, family friends, JB advisors, etc.)
- Chapter Endorsement Form from CISV Jacksonville – please note, parents cannot endorse their children.
The deadline for completing the application and submitting references is January 1, 2027.
