The Ultimate Guide to Chinese Summer Camp 2025!

We recommend applying as early as possible to secure a spot for your child, as spaces can fill
up quickly. Ideally, applications should be submitted 3 to 6 months before the camp start date.
This allows ample time for visa processing, preparation, and any additional paperwork. Early
application also gives you priority in selecting session dates and ensures time for your child to get familiar with camp expectations.

Many of them are native Chinese speakers, and all of them hold certifications in teaching Mandarin as a second language. They are passionate about teaching and create a dynamic, engaging, and interactive learning environment. Their goal is to make language learning fun while helping each child develop confidence in using Mandarin in real-life situations.
