New Cultural Immersion Summer Camp for Chinese & American Students

2/2/2016

The Lippman School will offer a new academic summer camp for Chinese and American students this summer.

The idea for The Lippman School Cultural Immersion Camp grew out of a connection made with local educational consulting company, Learnosphere, which brought nine teachers from China’s Guangdong province to our school last week to observe how American students learn English.

Sam Chestnut, Head of The Lippman School noted, “This summer camp will be an excellent opportunity to further develop our partnership with educators and students from Guangdong province and for local students. Our school has developed an excellent reputation as a leader in cross-cultural education and we are delighted to offer more opportunities for international and local students”.

The new Lippman School Cultural Immersion Camp will provide a unique 7-day opportunity for up to 23 Chinese students and 23 American students, to explore academic themes related to American history, culture, arts, and the environment. Educators from The Lippman School and Chief Dull Knife College, which is located on the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Montana, will offer interactive classes on the Lippman School campus in two themes: American History and Northern Cheyenne/Plains Indians Culture.

Northern Cheyenne educators and artists are participating as part of The Lippman School's ongoing cultural exchange program with students, educators, and tribal elders from the Northern Cheyenne Nation. In addition to classes on The Lippman School campus, students will also visit the majestic Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and will have the option to stay in a beautiful 30 bed facility located at the park.
