Today the American teen leaders went on a field trip to the capital with some of the Dominican teen leaders and the oldest class of campers to see the Dominican Congress. Guadalupe Valdez, a former member of the Dominican congress, talked to them about what the Dominican congress does and how it is structured. This was a great opportunity for the American teen leaders to learn more about the Dominican government and how it is different from the American government. It was also a great opportunity for the campers to learn more about how their government works. La Señora Valdez has given a tremendous amount of support to the camp these past two years. Apparently, she appreciates what we are doing here because she told the campers that they should have a campamento las margaritas in every district in the country. Wow!

Meanwhile, back at camp, the teen leaders worked on some finishing touches at the playground.
