International Chinese Exchange
This summer Bow High School and the surrounding communities will host a cultural exchange camp for thirty high
school students from Yunnan Province in China, through Spiral International. The goal of the program is to engage
young people from China and a selected group of American students and families in experiences that allow them to
enjoy each others’ company and to learn firsthand about each other’s culture. This is one of numerous Chinese –
American exchanges taking place in Vermont and New Hampshire.
On weekdays, students will participate all day in English language lessons and culture camp activities and excursions,
led by local teachers and a selected group of high school students serving as Peer Ambassadors. They will spend
time with host families in the evenings and on the weekend. There will also be several social gatherings bringing
together all students and host families.
Host families are needed to house these visiting students along with their two teachers; they are to be housed two
in each home.
High school and middle school (grade 7 & 8) students are invited to apply to be Peer Ambassadors, and to partici-
pate in the camp. There will be an evening training session for Ambassadors and a host family orientation meeting.
At a time when China has risen rapidly on the international stage, this short exchange in our communities is a prom-
ising opportunity to create new friendships and build a better understanding.
For more information please contact:
Angel Burke (Camp Coordinator): [email protected]; Gina Aubin (Home Stay Coordinator): [email protected]
