Description

The program Bridge China will give students the opportunity to experience first hand this intriguing land of mystery and history. Our group will explore the depth and breadth of Chinese Culture by visiting four contrasting locations:

* Beijing - host city of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, and home to over 14 million people
* Xi'an - the ancient imperial city filled with cultural landmarks
* Pengliu - tiny rural farming village
* Hong Kong - city brimming with exciting markets, exotic shopping districts, and amazing historical sights.

But that's not all: this summer our students will learn to become teachers and counselors when they design and implement a signature Windsor Mountain Friendship Camp for Chinese kids.
