With the long summer holidays approaching, we're sure that many parents are still worried about their children's holiday arrangements: how can they avoid the overcrowded attractions or the boring classes? How can children have a meaningful summer?
After months of preparation, Ardingly College Zhongshan(Kindergarten) is proud to present it’s five unique camps for the summer of 2023! These include themed in-school camps that cater to different children's preferences, as well as out-of-school camps that are popular with little explorers and allow them to "travel north and south, through the past and the present"!
Through this series of summer camps, children will not only enjoy a fun-filled summer with their classmates, but also make new friends outside the kindergarten. We firmly believe that these adventures will give the children a kaleidoscope of childhood memories!
The constant scorching heat of nearly 40 degrees has intensified our desire to escape from the city. As the best preserved tropical ecosystem in China, Xishuangbanna, where the average temperature is below 30 degrees all year round, is a great choice. Here, children will be guided through the tropical rainforest by professional zoologists and botanists. Travelling through the homes of the Dai, Hani and Jinuo ethnic minorities, they will appreciate the exotic customs and local food. This series of classes with humanities, nature and life as learning themes will encourage children to develop excellent multicultural thinking and a broad perspective whilst gaining multidisciplinary knowledge in biology, geography, natural science and social studies.
