The Long, Open Weekend





During our exchange, the organizers always leave one weekend completely open. With at least four days without official events, host families can take their guests to special places throughout the region, even out of state. Perhaps they will visit other family members. Perhaps they will visit a special site.

But perhaps they will stay around the Peoria area and just spend more time together having fun. A local water park has been a favorite gathering place for students nearly every day.

Whether they stay local or travel far, the main point is for our guests and hosts to spend more time together having fun and forming new friendships that we hope will last for years.
