The
"
Our World Is A Global Village "
Summer Day Camp for Kids for Grades 3-5

Children's literature books were
used to give campers a picture
of life in other countries. The popular children's book "Beatrice's Goat" tells the tale of a girl in Africa who must sell goat's milk to earn money to go to school.



A professional Slovakian Folk
dancer taught us a few new moves. Pictured here are campers practicing their dance.


Campers learn economic
concepts such as production,
consumption, scarcity, specialization,
wants vs. needs, and more. Pictured here are campers
are playing a matching game where they must decide if resources are scarce. 


Campers learned about water
resources on Earth and
learned that for many, clean
drinking water was scarce. Pictured here is a camper participating in a water relay. Campers experienced the labor of taking 340 steps to transport water. In Uganda, the average person must take 7,000 steps! 




Campers are engaged in
hands-on activities to
enhance the learning
environment and to make
learning fun! Here students are learning about resources and production by making assembly line S'mores.


Limbo time! Campers learn about different cultures and their
traditions.


 Campers learned how to eat with chopsticks. All week, campers sample foods from around the world.


Sometimes we act silly! This camper is
stretching out pizza dough! How far can it go? Campers learn about being an entrepreneur and owning a pizza shop. Thanks to Bob Burke from Domino's Pizza for coming!


Many guest speakers
who have lived abroad
come and share with
campers about daily
living around the world. The campers always have lots of questions.



Each day campers
participated in an art
project associated
with a particular
part of the world.


Campers save their
hard earned classroom
money to buy things in
the global village market


This camp was so much fun!
