Homestay Camp

Chinese Summer Camp Program

Homestay is a full immersion Chinese learning experience that features a stay with a local family.

Our host families are carefully selected to make sure the home environment is safe for our students.

Apart from accommodation, the rest of the program is similar to Full Camp: it also includes Chinese lessons, cultural activities, field trips, and weekend activities.

The program also includes airport transfer and meals.

In the afternoon, it’s time to learn Chinese! Our classes use various methods to help campers speak Chinese from Day 1, and use the language to solve everyday tasks. Classes are grouped by level: Total Beginners, Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced.

Field Trips | Chinese Summer Camp in Beijing

Saturday Field Trip

On the first Saturday, Full Camp students take a trip outside Beijing and visit one of the most iconic locations: the Great Wall! Campers get to climb on the ancient steps, ride a toboggan, and even leave their graffiti on the wall (where it is fully allowed to do so).

Graduation Ceremony

The second Friday at camp is the Graduation Ceremony. Campers will showcase their Chinese skills with public speaking, singing, reciting poems, or (even!) performing Chinese rap songs.

Flea Market

Every Friday at camp, campers get the chance to spend their Camp Kuai — bonus camp money they’ve “earned” during the week by speaking Chinese and completing activities – to buy memorable souvenirs from the flea market hosted by the teachers. They need to bargain in Chinese to get the best price!
