Summer Program Activities

Cultural Activities

Students have many opportunities to experience American culture while they are at Lakeland College. Each weekend, students go on sightseeing trips. Destinations vary from year to year, but they generally include trips to popular destinations like Chicago. Other possibilities include museums, zoos, the state capitol, outlet malls, state parks, professional sports events and Great America, a well-known amusement park. In addition, students have an opportunity to stay overnight with an American family to learn about typical family customs.

Afternoons

During their summer at Lakeland, Bridge students spend important time doing homework and studying, but they also participate in optional weeknight activities. These activities include volleyball, soccer, basketball, and Frisbee. They also include videos, card games, Pub Nights with pool and ping-pong, and special (sometimes spontaneous) activities like water balloon fights and Korean cooking nights.
