Chinese

Chinese Twin Cities (Village Explorers) Day Camps

Join us for Language Detectives: In Search of World Treasures!  Children in the Chinese day camps (Twin Cities) will become detectives as they search each day for hidden language and culture treasures.  They will work with other detectives to solve mysteries - using maps, artwork, and landmarks in Chinese-speaking cities as their clues.  Whether beginning language learners or advanced speakers, the detectives will utilize the Chinese language as a tool for their adventures.  Authentic Chinese games, art projects, and songs will support their mission, and collaboration and imagination will be key to solving the puzzles!
