It is at 3:00pm on  July 8th,2011 that twenty-six Canadian Students and Chaperons attend  the opening ceremony at BCCSC Lecture Theatre together with the Chinese campers  as well as some host families.

Besides, to  carry forward traditional Chinese culture, promote cultural exchanges between  Canada and China, BCCSC also offers exciting activities off campus to enhance the  friendship between campers which include visiting some famous places of  interesting, such as Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and The Temple of Heaven.  Of course, the success in climbing to the top of the Great Wall China helps the  campers build up their confidence to overcome difficulties in the future.  Compared with these places of interesting, Olympic Sites---Birds Nest and Water  Cube astonish the Canadian Campers. The fast development of China can’t be  ignored. Sopping at Silk Market and Pearl Market is the most unforgettable  experience because they enjoy the bargaining and they have a variety of choice  there.
