CISV Villages are international camps that inspire youth (10-11 yrs old) to imagine a more just and peaceful world. Delegations from 10-12 countries take part in a variety of educational, cultural and fun activities. A Village delegation is made up of two boys and two girls, accompanied by an adult leader. Camps are coordinated by adult staff and supported by CISV Junior Counselors (16-17 yrs old).
Village creates a safe, fun setting in which your child will learn with others from around the world, about each others’ lives and cultures and how to communicate, cooperate, and live together. The Village learning experiences and friendships made will forge relationships and lasting memories.
