We have some updates on all the great winter camps around Beijing, which now have options for kids as early as 18 months! So don’t fear, parents, you have lots of choices for all ages, and all kinds of educational fun the kids can enjoy on their holiday break. The new additions are at the top.
Many of these camps are in Beijing, but some travel elsewhere. Please be aware that if you travel outside of Beijing for any reason, many schools in Chaoyang District require students to provide a nucleic acid test within seven days of returning to school. The requirements can change at any time with new information, so use caution when making plans. – Acting Editor’s Note
