This June/July Camp Magic will be visiting Cowboy Cultures from Around the World!
In the past, we have journeyed to a variety of countries looking at the unique cultures within each.This next holiday we will be changing things around a bit...
Going to different countries to understand a specific type of shared culture... The Cowboy Culture!Ever wondered what you'd see when horseback riding in other parts of the world? What do you imagine the landscape to look like in Cowboy Country? How do you suppose it changes from Australia to Canada, from Mexico to South Africa?

Parts of each country we will look at:
THE LANDSCAPES...Ever wondered what you'll see when riding on horseback in different parts of the world? Is the landscape the same?
How do they differ?
THE LANGUAGES...How do cowboys and cowgirls talk in Australia? In Mexico? What do you a call a cowboy from Spain? There are so many wonderful expressions and languages to learn.
SONGS... What do cowboys and cowgirls from different countries sing around the campfire? Cattle farming in these countries involves a whole lot of travel, and sometimes sleeping out under the stars... What do they sing to pass the time?
STORIES...Of course, we're at Camp Magic! Everything is about the story... what are some of the stories the country cowboy and cowgirl have passed down from one campfire to the next?
DANCES...Line dancing, square dancing, circle dancing... cowboys and cowgirls love to kick up their heels and dance!
Let's explore cross-cultural country dancing.
