Summer camp brings Korean youth to campus

Western has been playing host for much of July to a group of 20 11-year-old South Korean students who are a part of a sister city youth program between Bellingham and Cheongju, Korea.

During this camp, which began July 12 and continues to Aug. 1, students participate in hands-on classroom learning and outdoor activities while practicing their English speaking skills.
