This Cross-Cultural Immersion Camp will be a weekend for you to engage in fun, laughter, learning and creating new memories. There are few opportunities for community members to learn about the vast diversity of cultures living in our town. Keys to Life will create a culture camp where community members can engage and begin to understand the root of cultural experience from different perspectives. The Cross-Cultural Immersion Camp will bring cultural bearers from diverse groups across the state to facilitate learning and understanding. The weekend will be filled with stories, music, art, dance, and cultural foods.
An unprecedented opportunity for new connections, new friends, new relationships, and ways to build more inclusivity.
Reserve your space at the Cross-Cultural Immersion for Adults - only $175.00 for the entire weekend. This includes: lodging, meals, presenters and art supplies.
