Ready for the ultimate CISV adventure? 🌍
Seminar Camp is a 21-day international experience for teens ages 16–17 who are ready to take the lead, dive into big ideas, and connect with young people from around the world! Since 1959, Seminar Camps have brought together 24–30 delegates from different countries to live, learn, and grow together, all under the guidance of trained CISV staff.
