Camille will begin her year abroad with the Steiner family — Bryce, Angel, and Julia. She will stay with two other host families during her visit to the United States in Antwerp. The Antwerp Rotary Club is a division of Rotary District 6600. Camille comes to Antwerp from Rotary District 2170 in Belgium.

The Rotary Youth Exchange Program is a program sponsored by local Rotary Clubs in districts all over the world. Young people travel the world every year through this Youth Exchange Program. The international students stay with families in local Rotary districts to experience a new culture and way of life sometimes in stark contrast to their own. Last school year, Antwerp student, Julia Steiner, spent the year in Brazil, Rotary District 4760 in Belo Horizonte. This year, Antwerp student, Katie Oberlin, is visiting Sankt Goarshausen, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, Rotary District 1860.
