These summer camps will be conducted around Wellington's vision of a whole-person education that is inspired, intellectual, individual, independent, and inclusive; with three types of camps: Global Sports Camp, Academic Intelligence Camp and Leadership Camp.
Global Sports Camp (Current EY4 to Grade 5/Year 6)
It has been found that sports can improve cognitive function, memory, and concentration. At Global Sports Camp, pupils will have the opportunity to experience a variety of sports such as fencing, archery, golf, swimming, tennis, and fitness classes. Pupils will learn to be tolerant and self reliant while improving their athletic abilities and teamwork.
Academic Camp (Current EY4 to Grade 5/Year 6)
This year's summer camp will lead pupils to explore, discover, learn, practice, analyse and create. Learning to learn is a topic to be explored throughout life. Instead of learning theoretical knowledge, pupils in the Academic Camps will learn how to apply what they have learnt in a real-world setting. Utilising maths, logic, programming, and science in these valuable learning experiences, pupils will explore different interests and ignite a brand-new passion.
Leadership Camp (Current G6/Y7-G9/Y10)
In the Leadership Camp, pupils will discuss social phenomena, international issues, present and share their perspectives, and generate new ideas and insights through an exchange of ideas. Meanwhile, students will learn about economics, including the relationship between supply and demand, budgeting, investment, etc. Pupils will be able to understand the logic behind various economic phenomena in their lives and make wiser choices. It will also develop pupils' critical thinking and problem-solving skills to reach their full individual potential.
The Wellington Hangzhou campus boasts state-of-the-art facilities, including a temperature controlled swimming pool with six lanes and for large performances, a 560-seat grand theatre which is equipped with an advanced orchestra pit, allowing pupils to enjoy a world-class learning environment. (The site for the summer camp also includes the archery hall and outdoor golf range).
The school catering provider will provide rich, healthy, and nutritious meals (including morning snacks and lunch).
