[quote=Anonymous]My DD has done chinese for 4 yrs now. She likes the “camp” aspects of it - swimming in the lake, singing around a camp fire. For her at least knowing more Chinese before she went made a big difference in how much more she learned. This last summer, having finished Chinese 3, she started dreaming in Chinese while at camp. 
Honestly I do not know if she’ll want to go again this summer. The 4 week program is extremely intense but effective, and she may have outgrown the 2 week program. I wish there were other options. 
It’s such a pain to get there. If you send your kid as an unaccompanied minor, she will spend hours waiting at the MSP airport, then go to a very basic dorm without a/c for overnight, then 4 hr bus ride the next day. We did it once. The other times I’ve gone out with DD 2 days early and we’ve had a mother/daughter weekend and then I drive her up. I do not love it, but DD has fond memories of our trips, so I keep doing it. 
We always have her fly home on her own - no overnights so it’s not as involved. [/quote]
