Again this year, a group of about 50 Korean students between the ages of 8 and 16 are to participate in the American culture immersion event known as Camp USA.
They and their sponsors are to arrive Friday, July 20, at Alexandria International Airport, and will be in the area until Sunday, July 29, when they will travel to First Baptist Church of Ponchatoula for the second leg of Camp USA.
While in Cenla, the students will participate in Vacation Bible School, English culture classes, and a variety of fun events, says Coordinator Susan Duke, a member at Tioga First Baptist.
At this time, 25 host homes are still needed, in order to provide the Koreans with a view of America they couldn’t see any other way than by experiencing for themselves what life is like in an American home, Duke said.
Contact Duke at 318.640. 4760, 318.623.6675, or s.duke@tiogafbc.com for more information or to volunteer to share your home.
