Q: Will the students stay in the same group/classroom for both the AM and PM programs?
A: Not necessarily. Due to difference of enrolments between the morning and afternoon programs, the morning classes and the afternoon groups will be different. We try our best to keep the younger campers in the same classroom for both the morning and afternoon programs.
Q: Who take care of AM-PM transition? Do parents need to come at noon for the transition?
A: Most younger students, especially the kindergarten students, are grouped in such a way that they stay in the same group and same classroom for both the morning and the afternoon programs. Those who need to change classrooms will be supervised by the program staff or volunteer supervisors. Parents don't need to come for the transition.
Q: Who are the instructors?
A: Our instructors are all experienced educators with higher education. They have many years experience in teaching young children. Most of them are also instructors with the Ottawa Catholic School Board or other school boards.

Q: What camp activities do you have? What to prepare?
A: Depending on students' age, we have a full range of fun filled activities. Given that the students have spent a whole morning in the language classes, the afternoon camp program is designed to be educational but with more recreational contents. We encourage students to enhance their Chinese language skills through interactions with others and participation in activities such as drawing, sketch, crafts, chess, stories, and sports, to name a few. Students will be grouped by age. The groups will be fixed shortly after the registration deadline. Detailed program activities and schedules will be developed subsequently for each group that are relevant to the group's age range. We will send you an email and inform you of your child(ren)'s group placements, classroom, the group's activity schedule, what to prepare, and other necessary materials.
