- CAMP DIVERSITY
Unity In Diversity: A Multicultural
Conversation
- Reinventing the traditional professional business
conference, CAMP DIVERSITY brings together professionals from different cultural
background in a relaxed setting for a weekend of professional development, wellness, teambuilding and partnering.
GROW YOUR ORGANIZATION THRU STRATEGIC ALLIANCES & TEAMING
PARTNERSHIPS
For generations, companies built moats to separate themselves from their
competitors. Today the most successful organizations build bridges.
Meaningful partnerships are the foundation for success, especially for
minority organizations. By sharing, we gain MORE. By enlarging the pie,
there will be more to go around.
LET US DISCOVER OUR SYNERGIES AND HARNESS OUR DIVERSITY
Focus your resources on what you do best and what creates sustainable
competitive advantage and tap to the resources of others for the rest. In this
camp conference, we are inviting all minority organizations to discover their
synergies and harness their diversity, band together, share resources, conduct
joint programs, do joint marketing and promotions, co-locate meetings to better
negotiate rates and others. It makes sense, in fact it is good business, to
never walk alone.
-
- Strategic alliances enable organizations to gain
competitive advantage through access to a partner's resources, including
markets, technologies, human and financial resources. The afternoon activities
are devoted to teambuilding, partnering, networking in addition to recreational
activities.
CHILDREN'S CAMP:
The conference runs concurrently with a camp for children from different
cultures where they can begin to learn understanding, tolerance and
multicultural friendships. Sponsors are invited to send children who cannot
afford even the very low cost to this extraordinary opportunity to promote
tolerance and understanding and help bring peace to the world.

-
- Williamsburg
- For 81 formative years, from 1699 to 1780, Williamsburg was
the political, cultural, and educational center of Virginia, which
was then the largest, most populous, and most influential of the
American colonies. Step back in time to experience the ideas and
dreams of both great and everyday people on the eve of the American
Revolution. See how people dressed and lived and hear how they spoke
200 years ago. Make history come alive for your child.
- American History classes will never again be
boring.
- Jamestown
- The Far East has its Mecca, Palestine its Jersualem, France its
Lourdes, and Italy its Loretto, but America's only shrines are her
altars of patriotism - the first and most potent being Jamestown.
Jamestown is the site of the first permanent English colony in
America. On May 13, 1607, one hundred seven Englishmen arrived in
three small ships and moored them to the trees on this island. A
"must" educational trip for every school child in America.
