Mark these dates on your calendar:
January 23–25, 2026: CISV Brandywine Valley chapter mini-camp (CMC) in Chester County. All applicants are required to attend this local event. (Parents: we encourage you to be a chaperone at our CMC so you can get a firsthand look at what a CISV camp is like.)
January 31, 2026: In-person selection interviews (at a chapter member’s home in Exton). All applicants are required to meet with our selection committee.
Participants can expect a home stay weekend before the beginning of camp. During camp, youth will have time to plan and then lead activities related to the theme of the camp (facilitated by their leaders). They will also participate in daily discussion activities, cultural activities, theme-related excursions and Open Day, where friends and family will be invited to visit the camp.
Delegates accepted to the program will be expected to take part in training with their delegation and leader.
