Learn more about New Jersey

Caldwell is located in the north eastern part of New Jersey, just 22 miles from New York City.   Members of the First Presbyterian Church at Caldwell are excited to welcome you in our homes and share the joy of Christmas with our families.  You will join other International students for two weeks of local activities in our surrounding area.  You will share in the regular family holiday activities your host family has planned as well as a few special group events.  There will be an all day trip into New York City, an evening of holiday lights at our local zoo, a trip to the historic town of Chester for holiday shopping and Christmas fun, and dinner out with some of our college students.
We will also have an International Evening for which you will be invited to prepare your favorite dish or meal from your country to share with all of the host families.  Bring your favorite recipes, costumes, pictures and other things of interest from your home country to share.

Expenses
While you are here with us in Caldwell, your transportation and most meals will be provided at no cost to you.  Students should plan on bringing $120 to cover four meals in New York City, as well as two meals here in Caldwell.  There will be a trip into New York City (double decker bus tour - 2 day pass) that will be $55.  Also, don't forget to bring money for the meal you will prepare for our International Dinner, as well as extra shopping money for the trips to Chester and New York City. 

Weather and Transportation
The temperatures are usually quite cold (24-40F) and snow is a definite possibility.  Bring warm clothing for being outdoors, as well as gloves, scarf, and a hat.  Our closest airport is Newark International Airport and train transportation is also available into Newark Penn Station.
