2015 Youth Cultural Program to Poland

The 5th Youth Cultural Trip consisting of 24 children and two adults left for a two week visit on July 5th. This year the trip was organized by a Polish tour group Almatur making the trip even more interesting since a guide was with the group the whole time. The group visited Jasna Gora, Czestochowa, Krakow, Wieliczka, Warszawa, Torun, Znin, Biskupin, Zelazowa Wola, and the children learn about the history and culture of Poland, and were able to do some hands on activities like making pierniki and learning traditional dances. The highlights of the trip for the children were the visits to the Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego, Centrum Nauki Kopernika, a medieval castle, and most notably Auschwitz. On the last day in the Pienniny Mountains a raft cruise on the Dunajec River.
