Program - Interchange
This program encourages a deeper understanding of
another culture by enabling young people to live as
family members. Group activities involving all
participants are also a vital component of Interchange.
Although it offers a very different approach from a camp
model, Interchange is based on the same educational
principles.
Duration:
2 to 4 weeks for each of the 2 phases of the
Interchange. Interchanges take place over 1
or 2 years.
Age range: 12 - 15
Each Interchange
involves delegations from 2 chapters of 6 to 12 young
people plus adult leaders.
Feedback from our Brandywine Valley delegates
"There were
many new ideas and concepts to learn through the
Interchange program."

"We had the most fun
just being left to our own accord and making each other
laugh." NS
"This year's
interchange was great. The mini-camp we hosted
incorporated a lot of the typical CISV activities,
such as trust and cooperation games."
