Mini-Camp Opportunities
Mini-camps are one-day or weekend-long CISV camps held throughout the year to give Junior Branch members an opportunity to connect with one another and continue to work toward CISV’s goal to educate and inspire for a more just and peaceful world.

Local Mini Camp (JB Overnight)
Local Mini Camp, also known as JB Overnight is held each winter. The Junior Branch board will plan activities focused on the four CISV educational content areas: Diversity, Conflict & Resolution, Sustainable Development, and Human Rights. This camp is open to youth ages 10+ as an overnight, and a ‘day camp’ for youth ages 7-9.
Details about the event will be posted to the events calendar.
As always, we need volunteers to help us make this a success. Please let us know if you’d be willing to volunteer for part or all of this event by emailing midwestohio@cisvusa.org
Regional Mini Camp
Regional Mini Camp, also known as RMC, is an annual weekend camp for all chapters in the Midwest Region of Junior Branch USA. Over the weekend, participants engage in educational and thought-provoking activities planned by the region’s Junior Branch leaders. It is a great chance to get to know others in our Midwest Region and learn more about what a CISV experience is like. Anyone aged 10+ years in the Junior Branch is invited to attend.
CISV Connect
Join CISV USA chapters for a 3-day retreat packed with inspiring sessions, team building, and good old-fashioned fun. Whether you’re eager to grow your leadership skills, connect face-to-face with fellow volunteers, or recharge in a supportive community, this is the event for you. Check out CISV USA’s website for more details!
