There really are no words for the power that is... CISV. You cannot google it and know what it is, you won't even grasp the concept of it. One can only know what it really is once you've gone through that one glorious month of summer camp, and then... you will know what CISV is.

But here's a simple background:
Founded by Dorris Allen. It stands for "Children's International Summer Village".

It will, whether you like it or not, CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

God, that's all I can really tell you.

Example:
CISV.

CISV is an acronym for Children's International Summer Villages.
Motto: Peace Through Understanding
Every summer CISV brings together children from all over the world to foster international understanding and friendships in the hope of achieving peaceful solutions to worldwide problems. Peace is possible only as individuals and groups learn to live with one another as friends. At age 11 you may join a summer camp somewhere in the world. 2 boys and 2 girls from 30 cities are selected and they spend a month together bonding. For 13 to 16 year olds groups of 10 children make four week visits to the homes of 10 others in a foreign country and then host that child in your home the following summer.

Age 16 to Adult offers more leadership leadership opportunities.

Excellent cultural immersion summer diversion.

Example:
CISV was the best way to spend 4 summers as a youth. I did an Interchange between NYC & Tel Aviv as well as Hamburg, while my brother did the same with a guy from Helsinki. It's very helpful as a 14 year old to visit a suburb of Hamburg and see the houses look the same, the climate is similar, the family dynamic is like yours. Removes any preconceptions. It's fun to play ambassador to your hometown and travel as far as a days drive in a few directions over a month with a group.

CISV withdrawl

The horrible empty and longing feeling one gets when they come home from home from a CISV programme. Symptoms include google imaging your campsite, not speaking to non-CISV friends, excessive chocolate-eating, looking at your CISV pictures, and giving lots and lots and lots of hugs.

Example:
Random kid: Hey friend! How was that peace camp trip to Italy?

CISVer: Man, don't talk to me. I'm going through CISV withdrawl.
