What are Global Kids Camps
Global Kids Summer Camps provide children with an opportunity to learn about the world and different cultures through a variety of fun activities that teach about people, languages, arts, history, food, sports, music, and lots more. The goals are 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."Two Different Global Kids Camps
Exploring Nevada’s Native Americans Summer Camp - This camp explores the history and present-day culture of the Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe people, Native Americans who live right here in Nevada. Kids will learn about rock art, food, stories, music, and take field trips to Pyramid Lake and Meeks Bay at Lake Tahoe. This camp is from July 6 through July 10, 2009.Five Continents in Five Days Summer Camp - Kids will enjoy globetrotting excursions without leaving Reno.
