An update from Doris Al-Land!

A few weeks ago, CISV Fredericton hosted a minicamp called “Doris Al-Land”, a play on the words Doris Allen. It was a great success!  We focused on the theme of World Issues and planned activities that focused on current events. 

The staff had a great time planning!  We decided to create a promotional video to try and get more interest in our camp, and it worked really well.  JB Iceland saw our video and challenged us to a craziest/silliest faceoff. 

A lot of new delegates as well as past CISVers attended the “Doris Al-Land” minicamp.  We did many energizers, like the Pony Song and Purple soup, and did activities like Mango Alias and listened to a RadioLab podcast. 

We are really looking for forward to our next activity, this past minicamp has got everyone excited about CISV!

Lots of love from JB Fredericton

London's Annual Cookie-a-thon!

In the past month CISV London was hard at work planing our first successful activity since our fall minicamp. like many other chapters in Canada we hosted our annual Cookie-a-thon. 

During our 12 hour activity we had a total of 35 participants including new travellers and preteens that have a shared interest in making new friends and baking cookies. Even parents came out to partake in the activities and the countless energizers that we did through the activity. Our JB created a brand new activity, where participants were divided up into numerous countries from around the world and learnt a bit about their respective country, the type of government and fun facts like currency, politics, and how much their country was in dept to china, all while trading for the ingredients to make cookies, with the end goal of having the most cookies at the end of the hour. 

This year we donated 2596 cookies, with many more being eaten by participants, by the time the sun set on this jam packed day we were all begging to get out of the kitchen and into our beds.
