These 19 countries were represented in Milaca today with the Lions Youth Camps and Exchange Program. Your Milaca Lions hosted them for lunch, learned about their countries, cultures, and their trip to Minnesota.
They have been here for 3 weeks, staying with host families, and on their final week, have come together for a week of tours and visits with Lions groups like ours in MN, through Camp Spicer.
These 27 kids were so amazing! After lunch the boys from Brazil grabbed a young volunteer- and played basketball with him, while the girls played their favorite tunes for us!
This program goes both ways too! Our youth can apply to travel to different countries, with Lions clubs like ours sponsoring their trip. This is such a great experience for the kids, but we all learned so much from it too!
