Join us at Future Valley Education for daily Mandarin immersion!
Mandarin Chinese Immersion Summer Camp is a fun way for children to develop fluency in Mandarin! Each week will have an individual theme, with engaging activities, making Chinese books, guest presentations, fun Chinese drama and field trips to practice our language skills!
Our Chinese fun summer camp curriculum is designed by credentialed teachers and centered around Future Valley Education books specifically written to accompany our themes, with focus on conversational phrases and essential vocabularies. Future Valley Education teachers know how important it is for children to enjoy learning so they will be motivated to continue studying Chinese as they get older!
You may register for summer camp on a week-by-week basis, however, we recommend a minimum of 4-7 weeks to build fluency and conversation skills. Past students who have joined us with no previous Mandarin experience have been able to conduct simple conversations in Chinese after the 7-week summer! The minimum age for summer camp is 4 years old. Younger children are invited to sign up for our “Kinder Chinese” classes offered mornings from 9:00 AM -11:00 AM.
Daily Immersion
Our Chinese Language Immersion classes each morning focus on speaking and listening skills for everyday conversation, as well as reading and writing. Students will be divided into small groups based on their age and ability level.
In the afternoons, students will be able to join either a Chinese activity class (including drawing, painting, origami, STEM activities, etc.) for continued Chinese immersion, or other electives offered at our center (in English) including Coding, Yoga, Music, and Creative Art.
