Get ready for a week (or two!) of stories, music, crafts, games, snacks, and guests from other countries!
Kids and Cultures Camps will be held at Lancaster Country Day School, Lancaster, Pa., the last two full weeks of June.
This is the seventh year for Kids and Cultures Camp!
For elementary students (finishing grades 1 to 5)
Kids and Cultures Camp
Week 1: June 14 to 18, 2010, featuring Hawaii, Italy, Venezuela, Egypt, and India.
Week 2: June 21 to 25, 2010, featuring Ethiopia, the Philippines, Haiti, Ecuador, and Syria.
There are still openings for Week 2 afternoon session (1 to 4 p.m.)*
Campers "visit" a different country each day, create their own travel scrapbooks, and receive a Kids and Cultures Camp T-shirt.
*New this year! Kids and Cultures is partnering with Your Language Connection to provide a full-day option: Spanish Camp. Campers attend Kids and Cultures Camp either in the morning or afternoon and Spanish Camp in the other session. (Students must bring a lunch if attending both camps.) You can register for both camps at Your Language Connection or below; you don't need to register at both sites.
Note: Little Kids and Cultures Camp (for younger children) has been cancelled for this year.
