Two full buses with 110 students and staff headed over the CSU mountain campus in the morning of October 1 to spend a weekend in the mountain. Among those 110 people, about 25 students were from China. Other people were from America, and over 10 different countries.

After lunch on October 1, the students were divided into 8 small groups, with two group leaders and culture mentors. 4 groups did the cultural discussion first and then did the low rope courses and then switched tasks with other 4 groups.
