Intercambio is a program through IFCLA (the Inter-Faith Committee on Latin America) that places English and Spanish speakers in contact with one another. There is no fee; participants simply have to be willing to share their language and/or culture with the other person. IFCLA meets every Monday @ CAMP at 7:30pm.

The general format: Half of the conversation time will be practicing English and the other half will be in Spanish, discussing cultural differences, similarities and other experiences such as immigration.

The voting page is up for the 3 proposals about how to spend the $25k seed money being invested in Benton Park West. All the proposals are pretty awesome.

Cherokee ComEunity HUB
Community-based design will transform a strategically-located intersection into a plaza atmosphere.

Seeds of Change
We propose creating series of community gardens on vacant LRA lots throughout the Benton Park West Neighborhood.

WasabiNet
We propose setting up $9.99/month wireless Internet throughout Cherokee St. using Mesh Node Wi-Fi Technology. The network would be co-operatively owned by all subscribers.

After a successful summer youth program that ran 4 days per week (including a week of circus camp!), CAMP is currently on hiatus for youth programming due to a lack of volunteers. We would love to get youth programming back on track, and we know the kids would too!

If you are interested in volunteering - either to teach a specific class - or to help supervise tutoring and homework help hours - please be in touch with us at coordinator@stlcamp.org

the bike shop is open every saturday from 1 pm to 4 pm.

if you want to help volunteer, calling ahead is appreciated so we know we'll have more help. call 314.776.1721 or email eric@stlcamp.org

even if you don't like bikes, if you want to help out with open computer time inside while bike shop is going on outside, we still need you!

What if CAMP earned a penny every time you searched the Internet? Or how about if a percentage of every purchase you made online went to support our cause? Well, now it can!

CAMP has some kick-ass silkscreens, designed by our super-awesome 2008 summer intern Katie Ford, and they're for sale! Also, we will be doing silkscreens WHILE U WAIT this coming Saturday 9/13 1-4pm, during the Cherokee St. Mexican Independence Day Celebration. Buy a T-shirt or bring your own item to silkscreen. Once the ink dries, we'll set the print using dryers at the neighboring laundromat.

Adult sizes are $4, children's sizes $2 when you come by to pick them up.  Likewise, you can drop us a line (camp@stlcamp.org or 314-776-1721) to inqure when our next printing is, so you can screen your own duds!
