Leaving Camp
On the last Saturday of your session, you will check out of your cabin, have an exit health interview and receive back any non-perishable contraband that was held for you during your session.
Closing Ceremony/Parent Program
Villagers celebrate with each other at the Village the night before the last day of the session, as some villagers must depart before the Parent Program on Saturday due to travel arrangements. Villagers receive awards and celebrate with a feast. Every Village presents a Parent Program for parents/guardians and friends at 10 a.m. on the last Saturday of each session. Villagers perform skits, songs and dances they have learned throughout the session. Five- and 10-year villagers and staff members are recognized. The Village store is open following the program. The Village dean and staff members are available to speak with parents on both opening and closing days.
Villagers are recognized for their participation in the summer programs.
· Years 2-4 Village Pins
· Year 5 World of Friendship Medallion
· Years 6-9 Certificates of Achievement
· Year 10 Circle of Peace Plaque
Villagers receive awards for the number of summers they have attended Concordia Language Villages, not the number of sessions. Therefore, a five-year award recipient may have attended more than five sessions. Only summer youth overnight camp attendance is counted toward villager awards.
