Concordia camps aren't cheap, and aren't for the casual immersion family. The experience was a real challenge for our kid, very hard work, but a lot of fun too. The language village is a well-run place, totally organized.

We benefited as a family from the wake-up call of interacting with kidsin dual-immersion programs and native speakers of dialects (from NYC, Chicago, Cal, Toronto etc.) who are learning Mandarin. Most of the other campers in my child's group could speak a lot better than he could, at least initially. Not necessarily understand or read/write a lot better, but speak, definitely. The cultural immersion component has a different ring to it than YY, with a big cohort of kids from Chinese immigrant families.

Concordia isn't super diverse (few AA campers). Kid really wants to go back next summer. We're thinking seriously of moving to MoCo for MS (Herbert Hoover partial CHinese immersion in Potomac). Alsoapplying to DC privates with strong MS Chinese programs, Sidwell etc.[/quote]
