Since 1995, CRPS has welcomed over 900 students from Austria, Brazil, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Norway, Philippines, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, and Vietnam.

You can host for 5 or 10 month commitments following the school year:

Students are typically in grades 9-12 (occasionally grade 8) in Banff and Canmore high schools.

Do you have a spare bedroom?

Interested in spending time with international youth?

Looking for ways to add cultural diversity and excitement to your home?

Have you recently become an "empty nester"?

If so, we want to hear from you!

CRPS International Program is planning for next year's student arrivals already! Each year we host 50 keen and enthusiastic international high school-aged youth. They are thrilled to be able to experience our majestic playground, live with Canadian families and enjoy our renowned education.

We are always looking for local Bow Valley families to join our Homestay Program either full time or as temporary, respite support. Being a host family is a truly meaningful experience for all involved as you share culture, language, activities and memories that will last a lifetime.
