- If the term "3x3" is new to you, don't be surpised if after visiting this Web site you suddenly have an intense desire to contact the organizers of one of these camps. Quoting from the site: "3x3 is the name of a series of camps that developed out of the desire of people of Latvian heritage to maintain the Latvian language and culture in their families." The camps are held in the northern and southern hemispheres every summer. "While the attendance of individuals and small family groups is the norm," the Web site continues, "attendance by the three generations of the extended family -- children, parents and grandparents -- is especially welcome." In a nutshell, the camp is meant as a "Latvian identity" booster injection. The week-long camps are held in Latvia, Great Britain, the United States, Australia and Canada. EN LV (Reviewed May 2006)

- The postcard-style nature photos of this Latvian property in mid-North America will certainly entice the reader if nothing else does! From this site we learn about the history of Latvian involvement with this property, a detailed map and transport options to Gaŗezers (so no excuses for not getting there!), a weather report of the region, information on the summer high school (enrolment and health forms available to be downloaded and printed out) detailing fees, scholarship and job opportunities (both paid and unpaid). Information on the children's camp with similar forms available as well as an events list. Contains advertisements for work wanted or offered and selling houses and cars. A list of accommodation and hall hire costs and a form to fill out in order to work at Gaŗezers are all part of this comprehensive information site. LV (Reviewed November 2002)
