About our Multicultural Camps
About our Multicultural Camps
We believe that by experiencing aspects of different cultures in a fun and supportive environment, children will gain a different perspective which will help them develop a life-long curiosity and interest in valuing and promoting diversity and inclusion.

Our goal for the Multicultural Camps is to introduce children to different cultures represented in our communities in a fun, safe, and enquiring environment. Each Camp is led by a Cultural Ambassador; local immigrants who customize each day's activities with their own cultural heritage that can include their language, food, games, crafts, music, song, and dance.

Camp Content
Core to all our camps are hands on experience of the culture and traditions of the cultural ambassador's country. Most important is experiencing these through food, not simply tasting the food, but cooking and eating food from each camp's focus culture.

Mangwi Neville
My name is Mangwi Neville, I’m 23 years old and originally from Cameroon. I’m currently living and working in beautiful Whistler. I’m excited to share the rich traditions, music, food, and stories of Cameroon with the campers. I have a deep passion for outdoor activities, and in my spare time, I enjoy cooking, swimming, and volunteering—especially when it gives me a chance to explore and celebrate new cultures. I look forward to bringing a little piece of Cameroon to camp in a fun, interactive, and unforgettable way!
