Things have been drastically changing these past weeks, but if you’re one of the few lucky ones not on lockdown and still able to roam around the capital, here are some fun activities and places to visit with your kiddos:
Flips&Kicks Plus Extra-Camps
As the majority of schools in Beijing shut their doors on Monday and kids have gotten back to virtual learning, families are once again adjusting to the situation. While online school is better than no school, lots if screen time plus not being able to go places and see people can make both kids and parents irritated, to say the least. That’s why Flips&Kicks Plus have decided to host two additional multi-sports camps running from Nov 21-Nov 25 and Nov 28-Dec 2. Camps are suitable for kids 4-12. The price is RMB 4,500 per block and transportation can be arranged from BSB Sanlitun/German School/Lido/WAB for an extra RMB 500.
