A student takes part in a dance at La Semana, a Minnesota-based summer camp created specifically for children adopted from Latin America. Campers, ranging from kindergartners to high schoolers, explore the cultures and traditions of their birth countries and bond with those whose backgrounds are similar to their own. While at La Semana, which is Spanish for "the week," attendees learn Latin American dances and, on the final night of camp, they put on a formal performance for friends and family.

Culture camp for kids adopted from other countries. College kids finding new ways to make friends. The drought threatens thousands of urban trees. Rural poverty persists. And an Uptown Minneapolis theater gets a facelift. All that and more in our photos of the week.

Unicycle club
In this Sept. 3, 2012, photo, unicycle club member Charles Nolt and group founder Brent Barghahn ride their unicycles on Northrup Mall in Minneapolis. Rather than going the traditional route of joining a club sport or rushing a fraternity or sorority, some University of Minnesota students choose to connect with groups that teach them new hobbies like riding a unicycle or climbing trees. A student needs only four friends with similar interests to start a group.
