English Summer Camp in China
Trip code: CHN6

During the summer months, while school is on break, many Chinese students participate in summer camps. The goal of the summer camp program is for the children to learn and have fun while doing so! Your contribution as a volunteer in the summer camps is appreciated because the students don't often have the opportunity to learn and interact with foreigners. Volunteers are needed to help with lessons, organize games, crafts and other activities for the children. Many children are also eager for the opportunity to practice their conversational English with volunteers. Volunteers in the summer camp also have an opportunity on weekends to tour the historic and cultural sights of the city such as Terracotta Army, the Xi'an City wall, Big Goose Pagoda and the Muslim Quarter.
