Global Kids 2009 Annual Summer Camps July 6, 2009

At the Northern Nevada International Center, we believe that in combining fun and dynamic learning with introductions to different cultures and places, we can help create a more understanding and aware youth of tomorrow. Each year, our summer campers journey to a specific area of the world by learning about its people, cultures, languages, arts, food, stories, history, archeology, sports, dances, music, plant life, and much more. Our goal is to teach and excite children about their world around them, attempt to break down stereotypes to better show the realities of different communities, and to help them better understand their role as global citizens.

For kids in Grades 1 - 6
