ABOUT OUR CHINESE IMMERSION SUMMER CAMP

Our annual Chinese Immersion Summer Camp offers a great chance for children to consolidate and expand their previously acquired Mandarin skills, and participate in project-based learning of the Chinese culture. In previous years, our campers have studied Chinese classics, Chinese dialects and explored regions or historical periods of China. This year, again, we will chart some new territories.

Campers join either the Lower Program (ages 5 to 10) or the Upper Program (ages 11 to 16). They are divided into small groups of 4 to 5 students based on their Chinese skill levels. Mandarin is exclusively used with the more advanced groups, and Mandarin is supplemented with limited amount of English at the lower levels. The teacher-to-student ratio will be 1:4. The teaching staff include our regular school year teachers and professional guest teachers such as: scientists, artists, athletes.
