The program is designed to include five important components:

• Youth to Youth Interaction:
  Campers interact with the youth from Reynosa, Mexico through Faith Ministries, and youth through the Dominican Republic YMCA.
• Host Family Experience:
  Mexico participants share two dinners with a local family. ICP DR participants share accommodations with DR Leader Club members.
• Community Service:
  With Faith Ministries participants build a house for a needy family. In the DR campers build houses and paint a YMCA school.
• Educational/Cultural Experiences:
  Participants gain an appreciation of other nationalities, cultures, history and geography through a planned itinerary.
• Team Building:
  ICP campers develop important team-building skills at YMCA Camp Bernie prior to departure and throughout the journey.
