2010 Camp Fulbright
Junior Internship Program Announcement

The Korean-American Educational Commission (KAEC), which administers the Fulbright program in Korea, would like to invite students in the 7th to 10th grade to apply for the Camp Fulbright Junior Internship Program. The program, held in conjunction with our annual Camp Fulbright summer camp, is a three-week cultural exchange program through which middle and high school students from the U.S. can meet and interact with students from from all over Korea. Camp Fulbright 2010 will be held at Jungwon University in the Goesan area near the city of Cheongju.

Participants in the program will experience Korean culture through language classes and hands-on cultural activities, and participate in workshops to build leadership, teamwork, and other skills. They will also assist our camp staff—a team comprised of Fulbright grantees from the US and a group of Korean counselors—in camp preparation and operation, and join in activities with the Korean campers.

Selection of participants in this program will be highly competitive, and it is recommended that individuals, schools, organizations, or others interested in sending students work quickly to find qualified candidates and send in applications by the deadline.
