THE DANISH SISTERHOOD OF AMERICA
CAMP GRANTS

Does the idea of immersing yourself in Danish Language and culture appeal to you? If so, there are two Danish Language camps, Skovsoen, in Bemidji, MN and Himmelbjerget, in Corbet, OR. We will award four grants of $260.00 each to attend one of these camps.
The National Board has an exciting one time offer for a camp grant of $500.00 for Skovsoen Language Camp in Bemidji, MN. This grant was created by Lode Lodge #5 to go to one lucky Skovsoen camper. This is a wonderful opportunity if you have a child that is interested in learning the Danish language and culture.

Himmelbjerget Danish Camp offers an opportunity to become more familiar with the delightful little country of Denmark. One-week exposure to Denmark's history, people, culture, and traditions. Learn basic Danish vocabulary, meet new friends and have a memorable time. Participate in Danish sports, folk dancing and crafts.
