Experience true intercultural exchange within your own home

A group of middle and high school aged Chinese students are coming to our
Lake Oswego community to learn about American culture for two weeks this
summer. This is a fun opportunity to bring the Chinese culture into our
families and community.

Compass USA Homestay (www.compass-usa.net) are currently looking for
families to open their hearts and homes to these students. During the two
week program, the students will participate in English and cultural
classes, as well as afternoon and full day activities. Your part includes
providing a bed to sleep, meals and a place in your family for two weeks!

The following is a tentative calendar for their visit:
