Although Akron’s Rotary Youth Exchange Program is not hosting an exchange student this year, it actively contributed to the orientation of the district’s 2013 - 2014 Exchange Student orientation, held at Akron Rotary Camp.
 
Bob Heydorn (Cuyahoga Falls Rotary), chair of Ohio-Erie Rotary Inbound students, organized the two-day event with the help of Tim Snell (Lodi Rotary), chair of the Ohio-Erie Youth Exchange Program, and Patrick Kelley (Hudson Rotary) chair of the Ohio-Erie Outbound Youth Exchange Program.   The orientation focused on informational sessions for Youth Exchange Officers (YEOs), counselors for each of the students, and the host parents and families. Inbounders and Outbounders also learned more about cultural awareness with Susan Colville-Hall (Akron Rotary).   In addition, there was ample opportunity for these young people to get to know each other thanks to J.D. (camp coordinator) and Brian Chima (Akron Rotary)..   Following the orientation, the teenagers talked, went kayaking and swimming, engaged in activities, had a typical American cookout and sat around the campfire.  Mary Weaver (Akron Rotary)  served as chaperone in the girls dorm.
