2020 ACA Virtual Youth Cultural Summer Camp

ACA’s Summer Camp has a 20-year history, popular among both Chinese and non-Chinese families. As part of its mission of cultural sharing, the camp has allowed countless students to explore and experience Chinese culture, as well as to develop a passion for their roots. Though we cannot be together in person this year, we would still like to maintain the essence of our camp. After careful deliberation, we have decided to move our summer camp online! Students will have the option to participate in a variety of classes and interact with teachers, counselors, and fellow campers.

As always, our purpose is to introduce, explore, and immerse our campers into Chinese Culture by engaging them in Chinese art, dance, martial arts, language, games, and music. In addition, we also hope to teach campers important life skills such as responsibility, communication, teamwork, leadership, and critical thinking.

We’d like to sincerely thank you again for choosing ACA Youth Cultural Summer Camp. We know your child(ren) will enjoy it as much as others have for the past 20 years, and we look forward to seeing your child(ren) this summer!
