Students’ Feedback
What Our Students Say
It is a fantastic summer camp for kids. Teachers are really great and kids not only get to learn Mandarin but also Chinese culture, aside from visiting their host city, learning to prepare Chinese dishes and so much more.
Our kids had a great time at this camp - and learned a lot! At first, they were nervous and reluctant. But now, they not only loved the camp they participated in but they also want to come back again next year!
Our daughter has attended Chinese Summer Camp 3 years in a row (when she was 8, 9, and 10) and she has had an amazing experience every time. The teachers are warm and patient and they make class fun. The camp is very international with kids from all over the world, which she loved.

Our teachers are all native Chinese speakers who are highly-qualified and experienced in teaching Chinese to foreigners. Our teachers are university graduates with majors in Chinese language education or Chinese literature. They have also previously obtained a “teaching Mandarin as a second language” certificate before they joined us and successfully completed That’s Mandarin’s mandatory Teachers Training Course (TTC).

Will the classes be taught in English?
All of our classes are taught in Chinese to give students a fully immersive Chinese experience. Even for absolute beginners, our teachers will only use limited English to help you understand. Our teacher will use pictures, videos, signs, and gestures to help students remember and understand new material.
Do you provide accommodation?
Yes. But it’s only available for Full and Homestay Camp students. But we can help find accommodation for Day Camp students as well.
Can I join this program another time except for the starting dates?
Yes, you can. But for a more complete experience, we would recommend you to join our program on Monday. Besides, the program is possible only in the summer.
Can I change the program duration?
You can. But you will need to let us know 1-2 months in advance. If you can’t come to our school this year due to an accident or any kind of unexpected situation, your kid can come and join our program next year.
