August 8, 2008 will mark the beginning of the XXIV Olympic Games and the world will gather in Beijing to celebrate this monumental event. This year’s Olympic Youth Camp will offer an intercultural experience to youth from around the world. The 2008 Olympic Youth Camp will not only provide an opportunity for 16-18 year olds to experience the spirit of the Olympic Games first hand, but also to expand their knowledge and appreciation for the world’s diverse cultures while sharing and rejoicing in their own experiences.

The 2008 Beijing Organizing Committee (BOCOG) has allocated every National Olympic Committee two spots, one male and one female, to attend the 2008 Olympic Youth Camp. All expenses for our two delegates including registration, flights, transportation within Beijing, accommodation and meals during the Olympic Youth Camp Program will be fully covered by BOCOG, the Canadian Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee.

Participants from all over the world will join together at the 2008 Olympic Youth Camp to enjoy activities that are designed to educate, inspire, and entertain. A series of forums, workshops, sightseeing and excursions will be part of the adventure. Successful candidates will take part in a two-day pre-camp orientation in China with the Canadian Olympic Committee.
