Mandarin Immersion Parents Council

A friend from Starr King Elementary in San Francisco, my daughters’ school, moved to Beijing at the beginning of this school year. She’s working with a school there that has a Mandarin immersion summer camp which I’ve heard great things about. The program’s meant for folks who live in Beijing, but last year several families from our school basically decamped to China for a two to four weeks, renting business apartments in Beijing and signing their kids up for summer camp there. It could also work to have the kids stay longer but have parents rotate through, for example several families could pitch in together.

Here’s the brochure from the camp and some pictures from last year.
