Vietnam Summer Camp

Organised by the SCOV (State Commission for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs), the camp takes place annually in 10 localities across the country. The diaspora comes to Vietnam and pays respect to former President Ho Chi Minh at his mausoleum in Hanoi and visits other cultural and historical sites across Vietnam. There are also social activities, such as presenting gifts to relatives of martyrs, orphans and children in need, and interacting with local Vietnamese in several provinces. Since 2004, the camp has attracted 2,000 members of the diaspora from 30 countries and gives them a chance to connect with other Vietnamese.
