Can you believe we’re entering the third week of July already? Time flies, but we still have a few weeks left to keep ourselves and the little ones entertained before they go back into school. Here are a few things worth checking out in and around Shunyi.
Flips and Kicks Plus Summer Camp (Block 2)
Flips and Kicks Plus are back with Block 2 of their multi-sports summer camp. Following the success of Block 1 two weeks ago, Flips and Kicks Plus is once again offering half-day or full-day activities. This week will feature rock climbing. You can sign your child up for one or several days.
There are still three days available: July 18 will have fencing, swimming, volleyball, burnball. July 19 features rock climbing, football, ping pong, badminton, swimming. Lastly, July 20 ends with track and field, gymnastics, karate and a fun fair for all.
