An Unbelievable Summer Experience for Children ages 5 - 10 Adventures in Chinese is dedicated to providing a quality camp experience for children in the Pioneer Valley. Campers participate in indoor and outdoor activities designed to build a vocabulary and confidence in speaking, reading, and writing in Mandarin Chinese. Campers will also gain a better understanding of Chinese art, culture and traditions.

Campers will participate in traditional Chinese activities including calligraphy, origami, pottery, Chinese yo-yo and dance. Campers will also enjoy traditional camp activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, sports, exploring nature, and fishing.

Based at the beautiful and spacious Williston Northampton School, located in Easthampton, Adventures in Chinese takes full advantage of all of the facilities the school has to offer including: the pool, art studio, athletic center, dance studio, and playing fields. Campers will also have access to a free hot buffet lunch in the school's dining commons each day.
