Chris and Dalton

My host buddy Dalton and I were placed in Bear River, Nova Scotia. I have really enjoyed my time here, as a participant with Northern Youth Abroad. My work placement is at the Fundy YMCA. It is in a little community called Cornwallis that is around 20km away from Bear River. At my work placement, I work with youth at the summer day camp program as one of the youth leaders. There are 3 other youth leaders and 1 youth coordinator. We play a lot of fun games with the youth such as grounders, water balloon fights, and other fun activities.

My host parent is Holly Meuse. She has been a host parent to 4 other NYA participants in the past. She also has 3 sons of her own. We also have a girl from Germany who is living with us.

We have also visited many other communities such as Digby, Yarmouth, Wolfville, and Annapolis Royal. While in Wolfville we visited Acadia University and spoke with a Professor about global warming. We have also spent time shopping and went to the Cineplex to see Antman and the Minions movie. Dalton and I have also gone to a theme park which had rides, games, and a haunted house.
