( (> < D^^

INTRODUCTIONIn this summer camp, kids learn Chinese music, art, and dance taught by teachers all the way from Yunan, China. These activities are all fun yet education and will allow the children to practice speaking Chinese, explore Chinese culture, and just have fun in general! After the activities are over, there will be a performance to show what they have learned.

RED, YELLOW, & BLUEThe kids are split into different age groups. The youngest kids (age 5-7) are the little red flags, the kids in the middle (age 8-9) are the little yellow flags, and the oldest kids (age 10-12) are the little blue flags. The red flags take classes together and the yellow flags and blue flags are combined into one group and take classes together.
