Mandarin Summer Camp

Our summer camps offer full immersion in Mandarin for children 3 - 6 ½ years of age (depending on location) through an exciting Around The World experience.

Give your child a passport to the world this summer! Immerse your child in the Mandarin language through fun activities that include: cooking, music, dance, art, and stories from a Mandarin Speaking country! Every week children explore a country through games, songs, crafts, and arts while learning a language! Children spend their day indoors and outdoors engaging with peers, playing, learning, and developing skills that help them become global citizens!
