Songs of Hope is an overnight performing arts summer camp in Saint Paul，Minnesota，USA for kids aged 10 and older from around the world. More than just a performing arts camp，Songs of Hope offers participants a unique opportunity to live with kids from other cultures while learning and performing music from many countries.

Each summer，up to 75 children venture to Minnesota from Europe，Asia，Africa，Latin America，the Middle East，and the US. They arrive as strangers but soon become friends as they learn popular songs and dances from each other's cultures. The lessons learned during these six weeks are profound (深远的)．The friendships are enduring. And the stories are inspirational. Taking part in the Songs of Hope camp is a life­changing experience.
