The Global Youth Village
An International Summer Camp Exchange Program

Welcome to the Global Youth Village: linking youths from around the world! We are happy to share our unique international summer leadership program for high school students ages 13 - 18 with you.

Since 1979, the GYV has trained over 3,000 teens from 105 different countries. Young people gather each summer at our campus in Virginia for an experience in global citizenship filled with cultural exchange, new friendships, fun, and laughter.

Get involved in Dialogue and Conflict Resolution, Faith & Politics, Mass Media, Global Music, Green Your World, or Arabic Language and Culture through morning workshops.

Get busy: afternoon recreational activities include soccer games, swimming, rock climbing, international arts and crafts, languages, and creative writing, music, pottery, and fabric arts. Evening programs present guest performers, dances, cultural focuses, cooperative games, and talent nights.

Give back through community service in local communities.

 

The Global Youth Village is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains on 80 acres of rolling hills and scenic woods in Bedford, Virginia. Our summer staff is highly qualified, often university or high school teachers or returning from overseas assignments. Our year-round staff has over 25 years of experience providing a safe summer program, constructing an environment in which each individual's personal best can be expressed.
