Although the EPGY Summer Institutes are centered on academics, the daily program includes a variety of recreational and culturally-based activities such as team sports, indoor and outdoor games, martial arts, art projects, dance and music activities, and excursions. These activities are intended to provide students with fresh air, exercise, cultural awareness and social stimulation.
Some of the more popular afternoon and evening activities for the Beijing Program include: ping pong tournaments, local cuisine and cooking, language lessons, volleyball, basketball, ultimate frisbee, soccer, tai chi, card games, board games, quiz games, painting, hiking, shopping, an end of the program talent show and others. And, of course, to supplement the organized activities, there are always opportunities for informal social interaction, serious conversation, and lots of fun.
"The course was fun and entertaining, as well as incredibly informative. I love the TA’s, my instructor, the field trips, and the activities, the atmosphere was awesome."
- International Summer Institutes Participant, 2008
