Why This Camp Works
Over four exciting weeks (or as few as one!), your child will explore real Shanghai, create traditional Chinese art, join a mini cooking challenge, and — most importantly — walk away speaking Mandarin with confidence. No prior Chinese experience needed
Task-Based Immersive Chinese Classes
Every day begins with interactive, task-based Chinese lessons designed to build real communication skills. Every week has a clear theme and a Friday Showcase so children leave with tangible achievements, not just classroom hours
Weekly Cultural City Outing
Students step beyond the classroom each week to explore the city through guided visits and cultural excursions. Weekly city outings bring Mandarin to life: ordering street food, reading signs, navigating markets
Hands-on cultural workshops
From calligraphy and Tai Chi to traditional crafts and cooking, students experience Chinese culture firsthand. These creative workshops make learning memorable while deepening their understanding of Chinese heritage.
Safety and Full Support
Student safety is our top priority. All outings include professional guides, insurance, and a 1:6 staff-to-child supervision ratio, which support to ensure a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable summer experience.

What a Week Looks Like & What Parents Say
" A big highlight for us was being immersed in Chinese culture through small classes run by skilled and friendly teachers. We studied language, calligraphy, Kung fu, and music and were challenged to use our knowledge in a very engaging ‘orienteering’ race through the city and in a fun presentation at the end of the week.
The camp has inspired us to want to learn more about all things China and we would highly recommend it to other families. " Kane & Nicole's Parents
