Yesterday afternoon we went to Cultus Lake where we played mini-golf at Giggle Ridge. The weather was beautiful and we had a lot of fun! On the way back to the school we stopped for hot fudge Sundaes at McDonalds.</div>

Yesterday the group visited the Hampton House Retirement Home and entertained the residents with an origami making demonstration and some music. I didn't get to go on this trip, but Kate Goos, who is our summer camp assistant went along and reported back to me that the students did a great job. I can hardly wait to hear there musical on Friday evening at our farewell party and graduation!<br />

Our second summer camp started today. It was a small group because most of the students are arriving tomorrow. But, Mingyue, Ellen and Jane have arrived! They had ESL class this morning and are right now at the Cultus Lake Waterslides with their teacher Mr. Barkman and his wife and children!Kit Kristjanson, International Student Coordinatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03356704048085941005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3675053970055928373.post-63282000941566510612013-07-26T13:02:00.002-07:002013-07-26T13:02:44.263-07:00This summer Highroad Summer Camp is hosting two different groups of students. Originally camp was to run from July 14 to July 27 and then from July 28 to August 10. In order to accomodate students from two different groups we had to change the dates and as it happens they are overlapping a little. So next week there will be two groups studying on campus. I will be posting news from each group on this blog, I will head them as Kokusai and Chilliwackies. Keep your eyes peeled for news!<br />

Here's a photo of our bus driver, Cindy Turnbull. During the school year she drives for School District 33. We are very pleased that she could be the driver for the Kokusai Joho High School group.<br />

This is Sharon, our guide. After we had a tour of the farm, we got to choose from 32 different ice cream flavours - what a hard decision!</div>
<br />
<br />
Yesterday we had a lesson on grocery shopping and then went to Safeway where each group of four students shopped from a grocery list and purchased the items themselves. If students needed help the buddies were available to give direction and assistance. It was great fun! After that we came back to the school, prepared the food we had purchased and had lunch together.<br />

<br />
Class started this morning and I was able to take a photo of the group out on the playground. This afternoon we are going to the KalTire Retread Plant and to Birchwood Dairy. It's a beautiful sunny day, just perfect for this outing.<br />

We've already had one little hiccup!! The connecting flight from San Francisco to Vancouver was delayed. The students are expected to arrive at Highroad at a quarter past midnight instead of 7 pm. Thank you to our host families for being so accomodating....you're the best!<br />

I spoke with the organizer this morning and was told that there will be a lot of English conversation and audience participation, but she felt that even if our students were not able to understand all of the goings on that they would find it entertaining! 7 pm 46641 Chilliwack Central Road.<br />

After such a rainy Spring and start to the summer the sun is much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Here are a few things that are happening this weekend that might be of interest to you and your students:<br />

Abbotsford Agrifair - August 2 - 6<br />
<br />
The Kilby Museum is hosting Pirate Days on Monday. This would be a great opportunity to share some of our local history and have a ton of fun! Check out the Kilby website for more information.Kit Kristjanson, International Student Coordinatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03356704048085941005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3675053970055928373.post-60722959948286062712012-08-01T20:28:00.004-07:002012-08-01T20:28:58.699-07:00Today we went to the Cultus Lake Waterslides. What a great way to stay cool on a very hot summer afternoon. Tomorrow we will go to Harrison Hot Springs and have a picnic on the beach. Thanks to Glen Johnson, Highroad's chef du jour for making our lunch! Mr. Neumann wants to hike to the source of the hot springs, we can cool down in the lake and stroll through the village. I have a feeling that most of us will visit the ice cream shop and the chocolate shop!

We had a great day in Victoria yesterday. The weather was perfect, not too hot, nor too cold! The streets were filled with holidaymakers and there was a festive atmosphere in the air. We started with a tour of the Legislative Assembly, the home of our provincial government. Our tour guide, Kimberley, did a fabulous job and I know you wouldn't think it from her photo, but she has excellent Japanese language skills. The students were attentive and showed a lot of interest in what she was saying.<br />

The students had their photo taken with a very personable young man who was dressed up like Amor De Cosmos, who was the second Premier of British Columbia. In order to have a photo taken the student had to speak to him and say one full English sentence.Kit Kristjanson, International Student Coordinatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03356704048085941005noreply@blogger.com0
