Program · Year-End Immersion
The Crossover Camp
Cross into the new year inside a living African tradition.
The Story
A multi-day cultural immersion that takes participants into host communities to close the year — and open the next — inside heritage.
The Crossover Camp invites young people into host communities for hands-on learning: fire-making, traditional crafts, language, cooking, and deep cultural exchange with elders and peers. As the year turns, we mark the moment together — not in a club, not online, but inside the rituals and relationships that have always defined who we are.
