CULTURAL INSTITUTE OF AMERICA believes in opening the hearts and minds of teens and young adults through interactive cultural exchange. Working exclusively with partners that make a difference and changing lives allows CIA to help create new leaders of our future. The CIA was developed from many different company leaders that got "tired" of the whole tour business to just be about the money, and not about the teens.
After years of designing teen based tours, and real life cultural experience, CIA opened their hearts to the teens who truly wish to make a difference in their own lives as well as others. Excelling to Higher Standards is not just our motto, but also our philosophy. We believe that when you sign up our tour, you are entitled to best of what we have to offer.

You will experience a new culture while immersing yourself in our summer camp activities with your camp buddy. This allows you to bond with your buddy, learn all about their lives, and share your experiences with them. All our children come from extreme poverty stricken situations. Some are homeless, living in cars and tents; some are just getting back on their feet, moving into a home.
