Set in the wonderfully rich and diverse International District of Seattle, Chinese Cultural Exploration Summer Camp is an exciting and stimulating introduction to the culture and language of China. While developing basic Mandarin skills, campers will be introduced to the traditional and nontraditional aspects of Chinese culture which have drawn countless to this Asian powerhouse.
On any given day during the week long cultural bonanza, campers might be brush painting, practicing tai chi in the serene Hing Hay Park, dancing and singing, and so much more! Participants will also get a delicious opportunity to create and taste traditional Chinese cuisine. From dumpling making to watching a hand- pulled noodle demonstration, campers’ palettes will be tickled by new flavors and cooking styles.
Throughout this exploration of Chinese culture, campers will develop basic language skills. Rather than being taught in a traditional classroom environment, Chinese is integrated into all aspects of the summer camp. Activities will be a springboard for vocabulary building, opportunities to practice speaking abilities, and the information will be reinforced through new experiences and senses. Campers will naturally pick up the language without having to devote long hours to studying out of books.
Our teachers are highly skilled with passion for teaching others about the rich culture and language of China. They truly make Mandarin fun and exciting through dynamic teaching methods which utilize fun and educational games that always have the children laughing while learning:
- Calligraphy
