"Survivor: Excite, Unite, Ignite" - Yongsan IS
-745821.jpg)
For six days in April 07, 61 teachers and students from Yongsan International School in Seoul, Korea descended upon Telunas Beach for a customized "Survivor" week. The week was filled with fun "Survivor-like" challenges, opportunities to build teamwork, help out four local schools with work projects, hike through the jungle, and grow in relationships with each other, God, and nature.
The guest speaker for the week was none other than "Survivor: Panama - Exile Island" star, Austin Carty. Each day Austin shared from his experiences on "Survivor" and from his life to both motivate and challenge the students as they continue to pursue their dreams.
The group rose to every challenge that was brought before them and we were thrilled with their enthusiasm and hard work during our community development projects with the schools. We also want to send a special "shout out" to Nathan, for becoming the Ultimate Survivor for Yongsan International School. Congrats!!
We'd love to hear your thoughts about the week. What was your favorite part? What was your most difficult challenge? Did you have any special stories about your time that you want to share? We're looking forward to having you come next year.
Thanks,
Mike and Eric

Hi this is Allen Hester. I am the director of the Immersion program at Yongsan International School of Seoul, South Korea. The staff at Telunas are amazing. Our 51 middle schoolers are still talking about the wonderful time they had at Telunas. We are already planning a return trip for next year. I would encourage other groups to consider Telunas as a location for your next meeting, retreat, or community service project. Our experience at Telunas surpassed our expectations! On a scale of 1 to 10, Telunas ranks an 11.
Special thanks to Eric who worked so hard in helping us prepare for our time there.

The beach was amazing. not only did it take my breath away, it taught me to think about the values of life; why is it that such beauty can exist? what caused it to happen? surely there has to be something bigger in this world.
telunas, thanks for helping me realize this.
by the way, the food was more than great. it was awesome.
It was great =]
I'm excited to go back this year.
