LWC International Student Programs hosts End of Fall Break trip

By Ms. Anna Peterson
Assistant Director of International Student Programs

On Tuesday, October 19, 2021, LWC International Student Programs (ISP) hosted an event for the international students at local Heavenly Haven Farm.

A group of over 15 students from all over the world closed out LWC's fall break by heading out to zipline, adventure through a corn maze, hang out in a pumpkin patch, and wander through a beautiful nature trail. Heavenly Haven Farm was the perfect place for this outing and greeted the students with smiles and wonderful hospitality.

The students' favorite part was getting to choose their own pumpkin to bring home, as going to a pumpkin patch was a first-time experience for most students on the trip!
