Q: What ages are served by The Culture Company’s programs, like Culture Camp and Cultural Tour of World Religions?
A: Generally, our programs serve kids ages five through twelve. They have been successfully adapted for children under five, and we are happy to work with clients who serve younger children.

Q: How is Culture Camp different from other camps?
A: Culture Camp integrates exploration of world cultures with exposure to peace themes and peacemaking activities. Our dual focus gives kids plenty of fun, but also gives kids a foundation for character development.

Q: How do you teach peace through play?
A: We lead campers through activities that illustrate peacemaking principles such as communication, cooperation, connection and conflict prevention. Cooperative games and team-building exercises round out the peacemaking practice.

Q: What is included in the basic CULTURE COMPANY programs?
A: All of our programs contain several core elements: binders containing the curriculum (number of sessions and length of each session will vary), CULTURE CAMP PASSPORTS and a corresponding number of sets of rubber stamps, and training and availability for consultation before and during the program.

Q: What is the format of each lesson?
A: Each session includes a cultural lesson, circle time, a story, an activity, and a craft, as well as background information for the counselor.

Q: Do you have anything else that adds more dimension to your programs?
A: We have available, for purchase or rent, classroom decor, multicultural music, banners, flags, and CULTURE CRATES (Culture Crates contain artifacts pertaining to the culture being “visited”).

Q: Can I have mixed ages in the groups?
A: All our curricula are designed to accommodate various skill and interest levels, and we include detailed descriptions of how to tailor each activity to various age levels.

Q: How can you tell Culture Company programs have an impact on the campers?
A: We rely largely on feedback from you, our clients, as well as from the campers themselves, to keep track of the lasting effect our programs have on kids. Some of the testimonials and anecdotes can be found on the “What People Are Saying” page.

Q: How can I order your programs?
A: You can order online using the downloadable Order Form, or contact us to discuss your particular needs.

Q: Why do kids like the CULTURE COMPANY programs so much?
A: Fun................... Fun..................... Fun......................... Fun....... And isn't that the best way to learn something, by having fun?
