A week of opportunity for 5th and 6th grade boys and girls to experience the diversity from which our country takes strength. ____________________________________________________________
Purpose
____________________________________________________________ * To provide an opportunity for our youth to reconize, by experience, with a group of their peirs, the radical religous ethnic, cultrual, and economic diversity of our nation. * To share stories, music, art, dance, etc from the diverse sources (some of their own family heritage)which make for the richness of our national life. * To learn to deal with challenges of diversity, such as name calling, sterieotyping, or belittling others'culture or beliefs. * To explore the diversity of the world of nature * To have fun together, in learning, work and summer play. Our intention is to include as much diversity as possible within a total group of 28 campers and 8 counselors housed in 4 rustic cabins.
There are no quotas. Some campers might represent more than one group. Applications from campers will be recieved from a wide area. Acceptance will be determined by our efforts to create a widely diverse group on a rolling basis.
Application deadline: July 15, 2001 (If the camp is not full, we will accept applications after this date---Apply early) This is the fourth year this camp will be held. Campers, counselors and parents enthusiastically report that Camp USA is a rewarding and fun camping adventure.
This years theme is: Native Peoples Here and
Around the World
