What is International Christmas Getaway?

International Christmas Getaway gives international university students, "a home away from home" and introduces them to the true meaning of Christmas in Canada . It is a 4 day Christmas holiday getaway held at Camp IAWAH (located 1.5 hours southwest of Ottawa or one hour north of Kingston ) with Canadians and other international students. It is a great opportunity to learn from one another and make new friends.

A true Canadian Holiday Experience: You and your Canadian hosts will enjoy Christmas together in a cozy, winterized country camp facility with all of the week's meals provided. Each day will be filled with a variety of outdoor activities, discussions, indoor games, and cultural explorations. There are times to relax and make new friends from around the world. It will be a fun and memorable Christmas in Canada which you¡¦ll never forget.

This Christmas holiday event is open to university students, visiting scholars (and their families) of all nationalities, races and faiths. We have a limited registration, so be sure you register early. International Christmas is an alcohol-free event.
