Camp is held the last two weeks of June from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at Millersville International House, Millersville, Pa. Camp is designed for students who have completed grades 1 to 5. Campers "visit" a different country each day and create their own travel scrapbooks. NEW this year: afternoon sessions, from 12 noon to 2 p.m. Bring a packed lunch and then participate in African Dance and Drumming (with the Imani Edu-Tainers), Spanish 101 (with Fluent Kids), Refugee Awareness (with CWS Immigration and Refugee Program), A Dramatic Peace (with Fulton Academy of Theatre), and Global Games (with Kids and Cultures). There are a few spots open, so register today!
