Best Refugee Camp Fort Wayne Near Me

4worldlovers:
International House is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian organization committed to sharing the love and light of Jesus Christ with refugees and other internationals living in the Fort Wayne area.


At the same time, International House respects the right of each individual to decide his own religious preference and provides services without regard to religious preference.


International House has several programs that serve internationals and refugees. Women’s Club is a favorite for international ladies. Our ESL programs accommodate many students whose work schedules prohibit participation in other community programs. Computer Café is a favorite with the young and old, as adults, teens, and children learn English and computer skills using our computer lab. Other programs meet felt needs and provide skills to help in the complex assimilation process.


When a woman arrives from a refugee camp and lands in Fort Wayne, her world is suddenly and radically different. The weather is colder, the people are foreign, and the customs are strange. There is a great deal to adapt to and adjust to as she navigates this new world. Many times as ladies join the sewing program at International House, one of the first obstacles she encounters, outside of the language barrier, is making choices. Simple things that American women take for granted, are milestones for a newly arrived international.

Salomon Farm Park was launched in 1996 through the generous donation of land by Chris Salomon. Mr. Salomon, his daughter Lynn, and Salomon's wife Maxine had discussed and conceived, perhaps twenty years earlier, the potential of their beautiful landmark farm becoming a historic working farm and park for others to experience. With the assistance and grateful acceptance of the Fort Wayne Board of Park Commissioners and the Parks and Recreation Department, the Salomon family wishes have come true. Construction on the Wolf Family Learning Center began in 2000 and was completed in 2001. Salomon Farm Camp was introduced in the summer of 2002 and sold out in its first year, leading to the 4,000 square foot expansion of the Wolf Family Learning Center in 2018. Other recent changes at Salomon Farm Park include the Homestead dedication in 2019 and the Salomon Farm Covered Bridge in 2020.

Salomon Farm Park is a true historic gem and a perfect location for walking, biking, bird watching, photography and much more. The Salomon's established the farm in 1871, but visitors will notice the endearing 1930's theme. Stop by for a visit to admire historic buildings, relax at the wetlands, or enjoy our fully paved 1.8 mile trail around the property. Follow us on Facebook for news, updates, and announcements!

We are pleased that Salomon Farm Park has become a popular destination for photography. Capturing memories for Fort Wayne residents at this gorgeous public park couldn’t make us any happier! Beautiful barns, rolling meadows, quaint gardens, and acres of cheery sunflowers (seasonally) make Salomon Farm Park an attractive place for photography.

The period selected for the operating theme for Salomon Park is the 1930s. This era is a very significant watershed in farm life, as the 1930s represent a lengthy era of similar aspects of agriculture and domestic life. It also is somewhat unique to the "museum" genre as an era with great personal interest to older Americans as well as great opportunities for appeal, education, entertainment, and recreation for younger visitors.

Salomon Farm Park offers many exciting programs and classes for adults and children related to nature.

Learn more about our upcoming events and programs including cooking classes, Blacksmithing, Foraging, Salomon Farmers' Market, Concert on the Farm, Fall Harvest Fest, Handmade Homemade Sale, Summit City Music Theatre Presents A Christmas Carol, and so much MORE!
