Menlo Chinese School
At Menlo Chinese School we believe the most effective way for children to learn Chinese is by sparking their natural curiosity, and by encouraging the practical application of language in everyday situations. We have designed our camp for children 5-10 years of age: both beginners without experience as well as more advanced learners.
Students will engage in different subjects of classes, alongside weekly field trips and daily cultural activities to further enrich the learning experience. Knowledge of Chinese language is not required.
Themed Culture Exposure Experences
Every week, there will be a new theme to explore, and the activities will revolve around it. This approach will enable students to enhance their understanding of the subjects and foster an immersive learning environment that ignites their curiosity.
Our Camp Goals
For those that participate in Chinese lessons, our aim this summer is to help children learn and practice Mandarin in real-life contexts; while at the same time, inspiring their interest in both traditional and contemporary Chinese art and culture. Campers will learn to express themselves authentically and fluently by engaging in a wide-range of fun and creative hands-on activities and projects.
Hands on Learning
and Field Trips
By integrating Art & Craft, cooking, hands-on cultural exposure projects into our camp, students will have a multitude of opportunities to engage with different subjects. Campers will see, touch, hear, and immerse themselves in experiences that will enrich their understanding of Chinese culture.
