Delegates that are traveling


The following is an example of the costs that would be expected for a Village Delegate. Travel costs are variable and depend on the program location. It generally costs less to travel domestically than it does overseas. Some programs: Village and Summer Camp, divide the leaders airfare among the delegates. A typical breakdown of costs for a program that includes an adult leader (i.e. village, interchange and summer camp) is shown below:

Example of Village program costs:

Family Membership Fee               $  50.

Childs Airfare to destination         $653. (example only)

Total (example fee)                  $1866.25

 

Typically parents are allowed to send their children with up to $200 spending money.

There are also some incidental expenditures that arise in preparation for the delegation to travel (Passports, if required, Gifts for host family, t-shirts to trade with other campers etc)

CISV is a non-profit, volunteer organization. The only fee that is collected is one to offset administrative costs associated with the programs such as: Insurance, leadership training and paperwork. The total cost of hosting the programs is born by the chapter holding the program.

Note: CISV Springfield's fees are subject to change based on fees established by the International governing body, CISV International. Check with a chapter representative to be sure of current costs
