My Summer Passport Around the World

Conducted by The Global Corner, "My Summer Passport Around the World" will help your child learn about the language, geography, culture, music and dance, and food of countries around the world - all while having a great summer camp experience. This year, campers will learn about children from Russia AND India: how they eat, live, play, go to school, and celebrate their holidays. All activities are designed to enhance the campers' understanding of how children in other parts of the world live, so that they can see the similarities and differences to their own lives. By helping to broaden the campers' understanding of world cultures, we are planting the seeds that will eventually help them succeed in the global arena - but you don't have to tell your children that. All they need to know is that its an exciting, fun summer camp with lots of cool activities!

Students will participate in the following:

• Campers will receive a "passport" and a journal for keeping track of their "travels". These items will be keepsakes to remind them of their summer experience for years to come.
• Each day we will teach and review basic phrases in the language of the focus country. Campers will receive a list of words and phrases to take home for future reference.
• Each day, campers will have the opportunity to taste one of the traditional foods of the focus country, allowing them to broaden their culinary horizons.
• The first four days will be devoted to country activities, and Friday will be a wrap-up day that will allow campers to showcase what they have learned about countries around the world. This is an ideal opportunity to reinforce their new-found knowledge.
