These two weeks are for youth from six to fifteen who don’t speak Latvian (although some campers do speak Latvian) and want to learn Latvian culture, traditions, song, language, and folk dance and as in any summer camp, swim, play sports and games, and make new friends. The two-week Heritage periods introduces, strengthens, and expands knowledge of Latvian culture, customs, folk dance, language, and song for those young people who don’t have the opportunity to participate in Latvian activities in their daily lives, at home or come from places where there is little or no Latvian activity.
