Mini Camp is hosted by the Junior Branch – our youth leaders plan and run the entire weekend. Our chapter holds two mini camps per year: one in the Fall and one in the Spring. The camp is open to all youth ages 10 to 17.
Mini Camp is a great way to experience CISV – we invite newcomers to join us. We also invite parent volunteers to help chaperone. It’s an opportunity for parents to see what their kids are doing in CISV.
A three-time mini-camper said the following about participating in her 4th mini camp: “You get to meet new, awesome people. You get to learn new fun and challenging games. I love it!”
Here is a sample of the daily schedule at a mini camp:
