Hoi An Ancient Town is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating fromthe 15th to the 19th century. Its buildings and its street plan reflect the influences, both indigenous and foreign,that have combined to produce this unique heritage site.

The Year 9 Camp is a wonderful opportunity for you to make new friends,

share new experiences and to learn more about Vietnam and yourself.

This four-day, three-night excursion to Vietnams central region will begin with an

early morning flight to Danang. From here, we will travel to Hoi An to learn about this

historic trading town. We will explore the World-Heritage listed Hoi An town and you

will work with one another and local tailors to produce a creative masterpiece thatyou can show off to fellow students and staff at our dinner and parade.

We will then travel further north to the former imperial capital city of Hue to learn

about Vietnams history.

We will be sharing a wide range of fun activities including:

Theatre and costume design

Swimming and Beach activities

Bike riding

Cooking classes Cultural tours
