<p>so now that i have pulled you in with my creative capitalized letters i gots a question for you peeps.</p>
<p>for people living in illinois or around ilinois do you guys know of any great summer programs or camps around this area? i would prefer if they were to focus on biology. </p>
<p>also has anybody done a program where you go abroad to a country for a couple of weeks and live with the family and learn the culture, etc. this will be done in the summer so it is not a a foreign exchange program. i'm particularly intrested in france and i know a couple of programs but i was wondering if any of you had some good experience with ones that you have attended.</p>
<p>if you have had an extrodinary time at some other program plese feel free to comment.</p>
