Université de Saint-Boniface (USB) offers a variety of day camps to both English and French-speaking children. This summer, send your English-speaking child to USB's day camp called Tu Parles! This French-immersion day camp is for children (seven to 12 years old) who want to learn or improve their French through physical, creative and discovery-based activities. Your child already speaks French? Send them to one of USB's French day camps: Camplus sur campus printemps (spring) or Camplus sur campus été (summer). These camps are offered to French-speaking children (six to 14 years old), giving them the opportunity to take a step toward life-long learning in French at USB.

"We're only a half hour from Winnipeg, so you get the best of both worlds. We have a river running right next to our 100-acre campus, and we have skiing and hiking trails," says David Johnson, president of Providence College. "It's a good place — we like it out here. The setting is beautiful." Providence is also a great place to make friends from around the world. Twenty per cent of the college's students are international. "We have students from 40 different countries, so students get an international flavour when they come to Providence," Johnson says. ❚ MAKE CONNECTIONS THROUGH LEARNING By Holli Moncrieff for the Free Press Tired of the status quo?
