International Camper Exchange Program

Germany 2012- July 21- August 19

Since the 1960's, YMCA Camp Conrad Weiser campers have participated in International Travel and Exchange Programs around the globe. During Summer 2011, we hosted 12 campers from Germany.  Campers had a one-week home-stay experience, two weeks at Camp Conrad Weiser and one week of trip and travel.  Summer 2011 was our 50th year anniversary celebrating this program. 

This Summer, the tradition continues with a four-week excursion to our partner YMCA in Hannover, Germany.  ICEP campers will travel under the capable supervision of a South Mountain YMCA leader and will participate in a two-week International Summer camp at beautiful Camp Abbensen for games, fellowship, activities and international understanding.  A one-week home-stay with an approved CVJM family and a one-week tour of Germany to include Berlin, Dresden and Munich will highlight the experience. 

This program is limited to 12 campers ages 13-15.  An application and interview is required.  A $500 deposit for the program is required and is fully refundable in the event that campers are not qualified or are not accepted.  Once selected, campers will meet prior to the trip for orientation and planning sessions.  Total cost for this program is $3400 which includes all travel, food and excursions. 

For additional information about this excursion, please check under International Programs.

(We have begun the selection process for this competitive program.  To be added to the wait list to apply, please contact our Summer Camps Director, Sue Williams at 610-670-2267).
