Looking for Summer School or Summer Camp

Hi, I’m living in Beijing from 8 months. In august 2008 my son (11 years old) will move to me for 1 month. I’m looking for good level Summer School or Summer Camp for him. Maybe in someone of the Int’l schools in Beijing? I’m working from 9:00 to 17:00 as journalist. I would like that he spend this time with kids on his age or approximately, to learn, to sport, to experience his English, to lose energy and to find friends. To the moment all offers are for july. I need info for august. I would greatly appreciated any suggestions

Hello,

Have you considered The Learning Center's summer enrichment programs? Have a look at the website: www.thelearningcenter.cn.

Re: Looking for Summer School or Summer Camp

I think there are a real lack of summer camps in Beijing a) during August and Cool downtown.

With so many expats staying in town for the Olympic Games this year (whether through work or play), it would be fantastic to have more summer camp options for August. I think someone would clean up financially if they could offer this.

I also think someone could make a lot of money (not to mention the most important thing: keeping kids and parents happy!) having a summer camp downtown.

PASS THE WORD! Let's sew some seeds in the minds of schools and summer camp organisations. The long hot summer will be here before we know it....

This above all; to thine own self be true.

Never fear everyone! i think i've finally found a Summer Camp that satisfies both conditions!

check out the ACLS Beijing Summer Camp at: http://www.acls.com.cn/summer_camp.asp

Runs from Jul 14 to Aug 23. For two age groups: 6-11 year olds and 12 to 17 year olds. Camp is held in the Lido Area, very close by to the Lido Holiday Inn.

Also, I rang up earlier this week and they said that they had an early bird deal for parents who sign up before July. Great news for us parents!

hope that helps! : ) Pat
