CHINESE AMERICAN EXPOSURE CAMP

 We are so excited to host our Chinese students and teachers from Chengdu in the Sichuan Province.  The students/teachers will arrive as follows; West Campus – July 16^th, Woodway Campus – July 17^th, North Campus – July 18^th.  The students and teachers will be matched with their host homes and enjoy the rest of the weekend getting acquainted with one another.

The first day of school will be Monday, July 19^th beginning at 9:00am ending each day around 3:30p.m.  Through daily interaction with their host families, the students will enhance their English and learn the values of our American culture. We have planned many exciting things for the students while they are in the Houston area such as cooking, crafts, learning about American Holidays, visiting High Schools, attending an Astros baseball game,  as well as compiling a photo journal. 

In addition field trips have been planned to meet our Mayor at City Hall; visit the Toyota Center where Yao Ming plays basketball; take a shopping excursion; take visits to Rice University, Texas A & M University and The University of Texas.

As we near closing time with our new Chinese friends we will host a Texas square dance and bar-b-q.  We will sadly say good-bye to our dear friends August 4^th on the West Campus, August 5^th on the Woodway Campus and August 6^th on the North Campus.  I believe that the most valuable result of our exchanges is found in the relationships formed.  The bond between the students/teachers and our families and the love they share is the key to the ongoing success of our program.
