Mandarin Chinese Immersion Summer Camps The total immersion setting provides opportunities for students to learn key vocabulary and skills through activities in a fun, “hands-on,” camp environment. Activities focus on the children’s Chinese language practice process: interact with other students, express needs, and understand instructions. Students are divided by age group and prior language ability. No prior foreign language experience is necessary!
