World Camps

World Camps

Global Camps Africa (formerly WorldCamps) is a non-profit corporation based in Reston, Virginia that establishes, staffs and maintains American-style summer camps (although many operate year-round) for children affected by HIV and AIDS. The first such camp was Camp Sizanani of Magaliesburg, South Africa, which was founded in 2003 and operates several camp sessions per year. The children at Sizanani come from the townships of Johannesburg, the nation's largest city. Additional camps outside Cape Town and Durban have been held. The long-term goal of Global Camps Africa is to expand to other nations, both in Africa and elsewhere.
