About us | Doris Allen, the founder of Children’s International Summer Villages, after doing much research on international traveling for children decided that she wanted to try a village experience with rural children rather than children from the city (Cincinnati). In 1954 she met M. L. Routson, the principal of Concord School, at a teacher conference in Columbus and discussed her ideas with him. Doris then came to Concord school herself and choose the first delegation to attend a village in 1954. That is how our chapter began. |
