The Dragon Hill Chapter of the Non Commissioned Officers Association
sponsored another one of their signature English Camps on a Saturday November
6th. This time the students invited to the English Camp are juniors from
the Bosung Middle and High School located just minutes from Yongsan
Garrison.
The camp was hosted by NCOA members and also members of the CFC ROK HQ
Company. The camp's theme was Fall Holidays and served as a vehicle to
allow the students to have fun learning English and American culture while
interacting with Americans themselves. For many students, this was the
first time to be close to an American. Some of the highlights in the camp
included team skits in English, Pumpkin carving, and a Thanksgiving Dinner
sampling.
This is the 6th English Camp for NCOA and by far the best. The main reason
for this is the partnership between the American and ROK volunteers. These
English camps are not only beneficial to the children, but also serve to
satisfy three distinct goals for the volunteers: Improve the relationship
between the Host nation and US Service Members; allow an opportunity for US
and ROK Service Members to volunteer in the community; and strengthen the
ROK/US alliance through partnership activities.
