The 5-day trip to Finland involved students spending time with host families in the town of Larsmo, visiting the local school, and participating in various activities. Key events included exploring the forests and picking berries; attending a welcome ceremony and singing Finnish songs at school; having dinners at family summer homes and restaurants; visiting an elf village and ancient churches; and experiencing traditional Finnish saunas. The students bonded with their host families and were sad to leave but also eager to return home and share their experiences.
