Q: In-short what actually happens in the camps?
A: The main objective is to improve the children’s Mandarin level through structured lessons and fun, exciting themed activities.

A. Because the camp is conducted in Mandarin, it is best for children to have some knowledge of Mandarin. But don’t worry if your child is new to Mandarin!
