Summer Camp Testimonials
"Nicholas LOVED his teacher. He enjoyed learning Chinese and writing Chinese characters. He enjoyed the handkerchief and fan dancing and exercise dances. I really appreciated the caring, gentle atmosphere. The performances the children did at the end of each week were wonderful. Nicholas is looking forward to going back to Chinese Camp next summer."
"This is my son's first year at the summer camp at MLCCC and he loves it! It's a great combination of athletics (tennis & martial arts), academics, and outdoor play. The teachers and administrators are open and caring. I love the language immersion - my son is finally speaking more Mandarin at home. We'll be back!"
"We were in the car, and Brianna and Shannon started singing one of your Chinese songs that I had never heard before! They ARE 'getting it', and storing it in their sponge/absorbent brains! I love it!"
"I just wanted to share how much the girls enjoyed your summer camp. Now every time we go grocery shopping they say all the fruits and vegetables out loud in Chinese! And at home the girls will make their own paper fans and dance with them! It was a great experience. Thank you all for your hard work!"
"We are very grateful for the wonderful program run by MLCCC. Both Sophie and Will learned a lot and enjoyed themselves immensely.
