American English and Culture Camp in the United States

Eagle-Orzel Educational and Cultural Exchange, Inc. is pleased to share its latest
innovative educational programming – an American English and Culture Camp in the
United States! From July 28 to August 9, 2025, Eagle-Orzel hosted 16 adolescents
and two teachers from Otwock, Poland for a program of guest speakers, lessons,
excursions, and tours. Our organization was honored to partner with the PMDK Youth
Cultural Center (Powiatowy Młodzieżowy Dom Kultury) in Otwock to offer this
opportunity. The American English and Culture Camp in the United States offers our
international guests an immersive language and cultural experience. During their
twelve-day stay in the United States, the students had language lessons intended
to enhance their English language proficiency and fluency. The program also featured
excursions intended to acquaint them with sites of historical and cultural significance. In
addition to touring Philadelphia and Valley Forge, the students and teachers visited
New York City and Washington, DC. The camp took place on the grounds of the
National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown, PA.

Our organization is dedicated to creating and facilitating educational and cultural
exchanges between the United States and Poland. We believe that interactions
between and among American and Polish teachers and students offer mutually
beneficial and enriching experiences. While the Polish students and teachers learn
about the United States, a group of dedicated volunteers led by Cecilia Kocinski-Mulder,
the camp’s director and American Staff Leader, had the opportunity to learn more about Poland through daily
interactions with our Polish visitors. The Polish and American teams jointly visited sites
such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Peace Valley Park, Welsh Valley Middle
School, Harriton High School, Villanova University, Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty,
and the Tile Works in Doylestown.
