The Culture Company provides unique, hands-on, fun opportunities for children from 6 to 13 to learn about world cultures and religions through stories, art, music, dance, food and games. The experiences give the campers an appreciation for cultural diversity, and, at the same time, help them recognize the inherent commonalities among all people. Cooperative play, trust-and team-building games, and conflict resolution activities illustrate our mission: "teaching peace thru play" |
