Global Village Summer Camp

Our World is a Global Village | July 27-31, 2020

Explore the world with globe trekker and Longwood professor Melanie Marks. Campers will "travel" to Africa, Europe, Asia and Central America to learn about the global village in which we all live.

Imagine:     

• making your own butter for an English tea party (and having to speak with an English accent!)
• creating a S'mores factory with chocolate made from African cocoa beans
• barter trading in the style of a Burmese hill tribe community
• carrying buckets of water on your head like they do in Uganda 
• learning what life was like for those who lived behind the Iron Curtain in Europe
• making fruit kabobs like you could be served in the forests of Africa
• making tie-dye shirts using bright African colors
• learning how to use chopsticks and then using them in chopsticks relays
• making Thai spring rolls
• participating in a limbo competition

There is just too much to list. Be assured that every day of camp will be action-packed, educational and a great deal of fun. Daily activities include international-themed cooking, crafts, videos, games and children's literature selections, plus outdoor activities to allow campers to enjoy the summer weather.

Campers are accepted on a roll-in basis. Complete the registration form and submit it, along with payment, to the cashiering office at Longwood University.
