Since its inauguration in 2019, the Summer Camp at Wellington College in Tianjin has become a cherished institution for both parents and children looking to enrich their summer vacations with learning and excitement. Our camp stands as a beacon of true international education, offering attendees the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in a "micro-study abroad" experience, without the need to travel abroad.

Big Activities

 

For the 2024 Summer Camp, we are taking a tour around the world.

 

Besides the wide variety of interesting and meaningful courses, we also have big and special activities. During the camp, on each Wednesday and Friday your child will participate in half-day events to learn new skills, create beautiful artwork and delicious food and engage in multiple sport-related activities. First, in our cooking workshop, we will make Italy’s most famous dish: pizza and will learn about European food etiquette. During the ballroom-Latin dancing, we travel to Cuba to learn the Cha-Cha-Cha and Austria for the Walsh.

We also added STEAM and art activities. Different from last year during the diving, children won’t just learn the basics of PADI/scuba diving, they also can try underwater hockey and the girls can dress up like mermaids. On the last day, all that the children have learned throughout the camp will come back in a fun scavenger hunt around the whole campus. In the afternoon parents are welcome to learn what their children have done and meet with the teachers. Children will showcase to their parents all the work they have done.
