SUMMER CAMP SCHEDULE
There’s plenty to see and do in Shanghai. However, before we hit the streets, your kids will spend four hours each day learning Mandarin from our certified and experienced teachers.
After class, students enjoy a shared lunch at a different local restaurant every day.
In the afternoons, we take the group on exciting outings to places like museums, parks, and local markets, where they can apply what they’ve learned in real-life situations.
Every Saturday we organise a day trip excursion from 9am to 6pm.
ACCOMMODATION
You have two accommodation options with our Summer Camp in Shanghai. The homestay camp or the residence camp.
