How to Prepare a Cultural Activity
International groups with 15 or more creative people and a desire to share a little fun learning about their culture are invited to submit a proposal by email to camporeehosting@gmail.com as soon as possible. In the email, include answers to all of these questions:
- What is the group leaders name, email, cell phone, and mail address?
- What is the name of the person whose name appears in the ticket registration? Include the registration number to be clear.
- After reviewing the suggested activity zones above, what activities do you propose that reflect your culture?
- If you will be doing part or all of an honor from your division, what is the name of this honor? (This is optional.)
- What equipment will you be bringing, if any?
- What would you like to be able to use while leading this activity? e.g. computer projector and screen (bring your own laptop)
What to Expect
- Expect 100-200 participants every hour. Assign a team member to welcome and direct to activities that are open.
- Set up one hour before your activity starts. Please clean up afterward, leaving the area cleaner than you found it.
- No food. It could be confiscated by customs, we cannot provide cooking gear, and allergies are problematic.
- No vending. You may see Wanda Poole Ferguson in Hangar A, if you have something to sell. Only Hangar A sells retail items.
- No electricity. You are welcome to use your own laptops to share illustrations, videos, music at one or more of their stations.
- No change booth. Any outfits or costumes must fit over what pathfinders are wearing, so no privacy needed.
- Adequate supervision. Staff with at least 2 persons at each activity, who speak English.
- At least 4 activities, one for each zone listed. 10 tables and 100 chairs will be available in a tent 40 ft. x 60 ft. You can arrange the tables and chairs in any way, but please return them to where you found them as you leave.
Get Your Questions Answered
Stop by the International Village help desk in/near the Activities Tent any time before your activity if you have questions about your set up. We will do our best to accommodate requests for simple items such as a tarp or rope, a bucket or a cloth, possibly some photo copies. Plan to bring anything else with you – keep it simple, this is not meant to cost a lot.
