We just got done hosting a team from Western Michigan Christian High School. They're actually probably in the air somewhere, arriving home to the USA in a few hours. I thought I'd share what our schedule looked like while they were here. We kept them very busy, but wanted to fit in as much as possible during their trip.
We have another group coming in 3 weeks time! They will have a different schedule than below, but some of the elements will be the same.
