city of Ottawa.

Ismile when I'm having a great timeplaying sports like basketball orsoccer, or when I'm playing one of mymany musical instruments(but it's tough to play the flute whilesmiling).I smile when I'm around my friendsand when I make new friends; I smilewhen others are happy, and I'm happy

when others smile! :D

CISV Rules:

Going to a CISV camp means following the CISV rules. As a participant, it is

very easy. You cannot do anything that is illegal in Canada and otherwise, you

have to be nice. Just like at home. You have to respect your new friends,

their culture, their borders, and the fact that we are all different, and your

way of doing things isnt necesarily other people's way.

For the entire village, the CISV rules stated in the R-7 form apply.It would be great, if all leaders could read the form before arriving.

you willbe receiving pre-

camp 3 soon... until

then, leaders and JCs are

invited to join our group on
