2017 Monmouth Monmouth Monmouth County Chinese Summer Camp Introduction (Highly Recommended!) (This camp runs by both Jersey Shore Chinese School and Fidelity Chinese School).
Every summer many students look forward to the Monmouth Chinese Summer Camp. This is
a camp with more than 10 years of history and its goal is to combine learning Chinese culture
arts with fun. This year, the camp will be held at Holmdel High School from 9 AM to 5 PM,
8/21 – 8/25. We are excited to have two professional cultural teachers from Taiwan to teach
the campers dance and Chinese Yo-Yo. We also have ping-pong, Chinese crafts, painting,
and lots of fun group activities. The instruction in classrooms will be conducted in Chinese
and English, so not knowing Chinese is not an issue at all. This is a good opportunity to help
your children get more exposure to spoken Chinese. A student performance will be on the
last day (8/25) in the afternoon to show the parents what the students have learned in the
camp. This camp will be a memorable experience filled with culture, arts, fun and friends.
The camp will take interested students from ages 6-14, and is opened to the entire community.
Please see the registration form for camp fee information. The camp fee includes the
materials, daily lunches/two snacks/drinks, and a free class photo. The camp fee can be filed
for Day care Flexible Spending to save tax. If you would like to register please download the
camp registration form from www.jscsnj.org. For questions, please feel free to contact us at
