Seacamp's International Programs
At Seacamp, we think globally. Our campers come
to us from all over the world - we generally have thirty or more international
Seacampers each summer. We also recruit a few international counselors
to add variety to our staff and programs. We like to hear a mixture
of languages at our camp, and encourage youth from all over the planet
to join us for a session. Seacamp is a great place to make friends
and share experiences with our neighbors around the world.
We also take Seacampers on fun and educational international
trips. This began as a program several years ago with sailing trips
from the Keys to the Bahamas. In 1994, we took a group of fourteen
Seacampers for a 24-day eco-venture to Russia. They spent part of
the trip "camping" on a cruise ship that toured the Volga
River, and also enjoyed a two-week stay in a Russian youth camp near
a national forest outside of Moscow. Other highlights of the expedition
included a train trip on the famous "Red Arrow" from St.
Petersburg to Moscow, visits to numerous cathedrals and museums, a
visit to "Star City," the Russian space center, and cultural
and environmental education programs provided by Russian educators.
