About
Homestay
YOGOFUN takes homestay arrangement very seriously as we understand
it is one of the most concerning topics for parents!
Host family is carefully selected and matched through a professional
homestay company. All hosting families will undergo an interview process
so we may learn about the family background, culture, and the settings of
the home. We will also collect and forward the desired matching criteria from
parents and students so that students are placed into the most suitable
homestay family. For example, parents/students may request to be matched
with families that have younger/older kids or those with/without pets, etc.
We will place two to four students into one hosting family. Before departure
to Canada, information about the host family will be shared with the students
and parents.
The host family will prepare three meals a day for students. The chaperon
of the group will prepare other types of cuisine twice a week to satisfy their
craving for home country food.

vast selection of dining options, thrilling outdoor
adventure, summer activities galore, the best in local
snow sports, and much more!

fields and pick a variety of local berries, ranging from
strawberries, raspberries, to blueberries!

aboriginal culture through handcrafts. The completed
handicrafts can also be taken home by students to
share and keep as a souvenir with their families!
Group B Special Program
Rocky Mountains Trip
Day 1: Vancouver > Hope > Kelowna > Revelstoke
Hope is a beautiful town from the gold rush era a hundred years ago and was also
the location for the movie “First Blood,” where you can experience the movie scenes
and take a break. Passing through Okanagan Lake, which is known as “the sunny
place” and recognized as the fruit basket of Canada, you can admire the 351 square
kilometers vast lake looking for the mythical Indian water monster Ogopogo.
The Okanagan Valley is a unique wine-producing region, nestled between the Coastal
Mountains in the west and the Monashee Mountains in the east. The rain shadow
formed by this stratum has a deficient annual rainfall. In addition, there is a significant
difference in temperature between day and night. This temperature difference allows
the grapes to retain a balance of aroma, freshness, and acidity while retaining their
sugar content, which contributes to the quality of the wine being produced. The Last
Spike Monument in Revelstoke is a historical site. The Pacific Railway was the driving
force behind the development of western Canada, and the Last Spike connected the
east and west coasts of Canada. However, behind the glorious mark of Canadian unity
more than 100 years ago lies the history of Chinese workers’ blood and sweat.
Day 2: Revelstoke > Banff Gondola > Bow Fall > Banff
Banff National Park is Canada’s first national park, established because of the
discovery of hot springs by the railroad. Banff Sulphur Mt. Gondola is one of the
most famous activities in Banff. The fully enclosed gondola takes you up 700 meters
in eight minutes to the 2,281-meter-high upper gondola station. You can enjoy the
360-degree observation deck with breathtaking views of the peaks or stroll along
the well-built pallet to the meteorological observatory built in the early 20th century.
If you’re a Starbucks fan, you can’t miss the tallest Starbucks in Canada at the
Lower Gondola Station. We have arranged a special evening light show at the top.
Bow Falls is famous for its fast-flowing water and was made famous by Marilyn
Monroe in 1953 when she filmed a scene for River of No Return. Surprise Corner
is a must-see for photography enthusiasts who would never have thought that a
seemingly normal road bend would have a breathtaking view of the Banff Springs
Hotel and the Sulphur Mountain behind it.
Day 3: Banff > Lake Louise Ski Resort > Lake Louise > Fairmont Lake Louise
Banff Town is a beautiful European-style town in the Rocky Mountains and the
largest commercial area in the National Park, with restaurants, hotels, shopping, and
entertainment. Lake Louise Ski Resort is in the Whitehorn Mountains where you can enjoy
the excitement and fun of snow tubing. We will provide you with the use of snow tubing
equipment, so you can enjoy the whole afternoon here. Lake Louise, named after the
beautiful Princess Louise of the British royal family, is the most famous lake in the Rocky
Mountain National Park. The poppies bloom in June and July in the summer and the ice
sculpture exhibition at the end of January in winter are the main attractions.
Day 4: Lake Louise > Yoho National Park > Rogers Pass > Salmon Arm
Yoho means surprise and wonder in the Cree language. Yoho National Park is home to
Canada’s tallest waterfall, world-class fossil sites, and natural landscapes. Rogers Pass
was built when the Pacific Railway could not safely pass through the mountains because
of the steepness of the western mountains. Thus the Canadian Pacific Railway issued a
notice asking for help in finding a suitable location for the railroad, until a Pacific Railway
engineer discovered the canyon in 1881. In honour of his contribution to east-west
transportation across Canada, the mountain pass was named after Roger, the discoverer.
Day 5: Salmon Arm > Kamloops > Vancouver
Manna is a major producer of American ginseng in North America. A special visit to the
ginseng farm in Kamloops will introduce students to the planting, growing, harvesting,
and manufacturing process of American ginseng. In the afternoon, we will return to
Vancouver by car to end our unforgettable trip to the Rocky Mountains.

ABOUT US
YOGOFUN has been in planning for quite some time and this baby was finally
born in February 2016!
It has been over 23 years since the founder, Ady J.T. Liu, moved to Vancouver.
She fell in love with the local culture and education system after participating
in a study tour. Graduated from Simon Fraser University and with years of working
experience in a local company, she applied and was granted permanent residence
status in Canada. Now she would like to give back to her hometown through
YOGOFUN, so that students who are interested in visiting or studying in Vancouver
can feel the warmth and substantial support in a foreign land.
With a lively, cheerful, and responsible personality, Ady selflessly shares her years
of experience of studying and living in Canada, so that new generation of students
can expand their worldview in a professional, safe, and engaging way. Learn and
have fun in an extraordinary way by personally experiencing the Canadian culture
and be inspired by the diversity and uniqueness that Canada offers. YOGOFUN is
determined to help students improve their global vision and be ready to step into
the real world to achieve whatever they endeavor in the future.
