  • ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn
    ACE’s Scandinavian Sojourn : A Southerner’s Perspective Story by: Richard Bostic, assisted by Ronny Cook When I went on the ACEspana trip back in 2009, it was by far one of the most amazing vacations I have ever experienced. In addition to getting to visit parks in a different culture than we see here, it is also a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts and grow friendships while enjoying our common interests. When Scandinavia Sojourn was announced for the summer of 2011, I knew it was a trip I could not miss. Since the 2009 trip was my first trip to Europe I thought that there was no way the over- all experience could be better in Scandinavia. I was wrong. We landed in Helsinki, Finland around 1300 the day before we were required to be at the hotel to meet with the group. Helsinki is an interesting city and fairly new compared to many cities in Europe. Walking around the city you can see the Russian influence in the city’s architecture. In fact, many movies during the cold war would use Helsinki to shoot scenes that are supposed to be set in the Soviet Union. After making our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel and getting a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant we decided to spend the remaining time that afternoon checking out some of the sites around our hotel. Some of these sites included the Temppeliaukio Church inside of a rock formation, the train station, Routatientori Square and National Theater, and a couple of the city’s art museums.

Dorney Park/Kutztown University Thrill U. Middle School Edition Introduction Kutztown University of Pennsylvania and Dorney Park are delighted to present to you one of the latest editions to our Thrill U. series, The Middle School Interdisciplinary Science edition. A team of teachers from the Lehigh Valley led by Jeffrey Bartman and Brandi Murphy from the Parkland School District developed the middle school edition. The foundation for the middle school series is science. However, in keeping with the essence of middle school philosophy, the activities are designed to be interdisciplinary. All learning events are documented in accordance with the Pennsylvania State Standards. Science and mathematics process skills are emphasized along with content and processes taken from PA State Standards in Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening. Your students will enjoy the thrill of the rides all while measuring, calculating, diagramming and writing. We give you and your students plenty to do on Thrill U. Day. On the 12th of May, we have a pavilion waiting for you, our university students will be anxious to assist, and park personnel will have the park looking beautiful and fully operational.
