What is Mini Camp in 2021?
Mini Camp will be an incredible day-long camp experience; jam-packed with fun CISV activities, top notch educational content, awesome people, energizers galore, and so much more! Our awesome CISV Jacksonville Junior Branch Board are planning an amazing mini camp for you.
Serious theme: Human Rights
Fun Theme: Pirates
Since many of the participants are from different 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 will be a full day with 4-5 activities surrounding the theme of human rights. 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.
What are the Covid precautions?
Participants must wear masks. Most activities will be conducted out of doors (weather permitting) and six feet apart from each other. The campsite has a number of rooms and outdoor areas that allow social distancing. Participants must bring their own lunches and snacks. Participation will be limited to 50 participants, including adult chaperones and JB Board members. Activities will be planned to avoid kids’ touching. We will take temperatures of participants and have all participants confirm their wellness immediately before the event.
On the morning of Feb 13, the parent/legal guardian of any child signed up for minicamp must complete this questionnaire. If any questions are answered yes, CISV asks that the child not attend minicamp. The questionnaire allows you to specify how you want your minicamp fees to be refunded.
