This year's Summer Camp is organized by the HCMC Committee for Overseas Vietnamese in coordination with the HCMC Youth Union and the Department of Foreign Affairs of Da Nang City.
This is an opportunity for each overseas Vietnamese youth to experience different emotions about Vietnamese culture, customs and practices with strong national identity, about practical experiences during the 7-day and 6-night journey with Vietnamese friends from around the world.
On July 26-27 in HCMC, the campers had many activities such as paying tribute to late Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong at the Thong Nhat Hall in Ho Chi Minh City, offering flowers and incense to commemorate the heroic martyrs at the Martyrs' Cemetery in Cu Chi district.

The Overseas Vietnamese youth visited the heroic Vietnamese mothers, families of war invalids and martyrs in the district and listened to historical stories about the glorious and proud period, and participated in an English playground with children in Cu Chi district.
The campers also participated in activities to learn about national history and culture such as playing historical games at the Saigon-Gia Dinh Special Forces Museum; learning about history at the Tomb of Le Van Duyet and enjoying the art of Hat Boi (a traditional performance art in Vietnam); visiting and learning about history at the Tran Hung Dao Temple; and water puppetry at the Phuong Nam Art Theater.
