RSS students will once again have the amazing opportunity to participate in the Beijing International Education Exchange (BIEE) summer camp in China. The British Columbia Council for International Education (BCCIE) will be sending 45 BC secondary students between the ages of 14 to 18 to participate in the program. Four chaperones from various BC school districts will accompany the students on the 10-day camp.
All in-China costs for BC students will be covered by BIEE. Program fees required from each student will include airfare (international air travel from Vancouver to Beijing plus domestic air travel from within BC to Vancouver), a China visitor’s visa, medical/travel insurance, and a $200 program administration fee. BCCIE has secured a competitive rate with Air China; the international airfare will be approximately $1215 (including all taxes and fees). The total cost of the trip should be about $1500 per student.
The cost of accommodation, meals, local transportation, tuition and local activities in China will be covered by BIEE. Students are also encouraged to bring spare cash for personal use or emergency situations.
