Southern Regional Minicamp (aka SRMC)

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 (with the help of their adult counterparts) are planning an amazing mini camp for you and other CISVers from the Southern Region.

A mini camp is a 2-3 day program organized by a local chapter that imitates what it would be like to spend time at a national or international CISV program. It brings together experienced CISV participants and others, that may be new to CISV, to learn what CISV is all about. It is a fun weekend that aims to build cross-cultural understanding, empathy, and peace. Come join us to make friends and work toward building a more just and peaceful world.
