Language Immersion
Your child will learn Mandarin in an activity-based camp under the instruction of CAIS’s own highly experienced teachers. No prior Chinese language skills are necessary to participate in this camp, but all participants must be at least three-years-old at the start of camp. Current CAIS P2 are welcome to register.
Curriculum
During each three-week session, children will experience Chinese language and culture through activities such as singing, Chinese story time, Chinese dance, arts and crafts, cooking, STEAM, and morning exercises. Language acquisition will come naturally to your child as a result of their participation in these fun, immersion- based, activities. Teachers will speak in Chinese while using supplemental gestures, making it easy for the children to understand the tasks at hand. Simple phrases will be learned from everyday use, such as saying “hello” every morning or “good bye” every afternoon.
