2011 Youth Cultural Program to Poland

For the 4th Annual Youth Cultural Trip a group of 13 children and one adult left for a two week visit on June 19th. As in previous years the Summer Program was funded by PACCF, Wspolnota Polska and the fraternals to which the children belong. Using the Dom Polonii in Pultusk as a homebase, the group visited Jasna Gora in Czestochowa, Krakow, Wieliczka, Warszawa, Torun, as well as smaller villages and nature preserves in the surrounding area of Pultusk. The children learn about the history and culture of Poland, and were able to do some hands on activities like making pierniki. The highlights of the trip for the children were the visits to the Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego and Centrum Nauki Kopernika.
