The  2011 program will run from June 20 to July 29, 2011.  This year we will have the regular program (4 weeks) as well an international trip (2 weeks). For our international trip we will visit the country of Ghana, in West Africa. While in Ghana we will learn about Ghanaian culture and our students will meet with Ghanaian students at a local school. We will also travel to Cape Coast and visit the slave castle as well as other historical sites in Ghana.

For those who choose to participate in the international trip, the fees include international airfare, local transportation, hotel accommodations, and all meals.

Students may still participate in the four week program without participating in the international trip. In accordance with this year's theme, all students will learn about the cultures and traditions of Africa. Students will also gain a basic understanding of both traditional and contemporary Africa and Africa's connection with people of African descent in America.
