DCA Hosts Visitors from China for ESL Camp
Dublin Christian Academy hosted a group of eight students and two chaperones from China for a two-week ESL camp in August.
Although the campers, all high school students, were familiar with California and Florida, they did not know much about New Hampshire or the Monadnock region before their visit. They left convinced that New Hampshire has more natural beauty than anywhere else in the United States.
The group enjoyed day trips to sites around New England and some local spots like the Dublin Library, the Peterborough Night Market, and the Cheshire Fair. DCA staff and faculty introduced the campers to cultural experiences like eating seafood, making apple pie, and playing disc golf and baseball. They also participated in church services at Mountain View Bible Church and spent time in American homes, including a
traditional summer cookout.
Campers rooted for the WooSox at a minor league baseball game in Worcester, Massachusetts and spent a day in Boston visiting Harvard, MIT, Chinatown, and the New England Aquarium. They toured the Newport, Rhode Island, mansions, visited Gloucester, and rode the Cog Railway up Mount Washington. DCA teacher Abby Garren taught daily ESL and college prep lessons that included highlights of American culture and history.
This summer ESL camp was a success for the students and the DCA community. While
the Chinese students immersed themselves in American culture and sharpened their
English skills, the Dublin Christian Academy community gained a fresh perspective and
built valuable relationships rooted in faith. The camp stands as a testament to the value
of cross-cultural connection, proving that a small town in New Hampshire can offer a
world of experience.
