The Laurel Project program, designed for children and preteens, will encourage students to learn the Chinese culture and language in a creative and participatory environment.  Instruction takes place both indoors and outdoors in the heart of Chinatown, surrounded by colorful shops, markets and wonderful restaurants.  The objective is to engage students in an intimate and fun setting, to teach Mandarin Chinese as a vehicle for cultural self-expression, rather than present it as just another subject to study.

During the summer, activities focus on simple Mandarin conversation, writing, songs and games.  Students will interact with fruit vendors, shopkeepers & waiters when we shop for fruits & vegetables in the markets, try out snacks, desserts & beverages in a teahouse, and order delicious food & dim sum in the restaurant. Lessons include counting, colors, fruits, vegetables, foods, snacks, desserts, beverages, clothes, how to use chopsticks, and Chinese restaurant etiquette.

According to tradition, we do our Tai-Chi and martial arts lessons first thing in the morning.  Beyond language practice, the day includes preparing simple Chinese dishes in the classroom, shopping, museum or bookstore trips, and Chinese jump rope and games in the park.  We close the day with Chinese dance lessons in a professional studio.

*All outdoor activities will be accompanied by two to three camp counselors*
