Outdoor nature exploration
During Mandarin language camp, campers get to explore local green spaces in SF and Marin for a half day, once a week.
Children will walk or take public transportation to a local nature spot. There, they'll learn social and emotional skills, math & science, literacy, the arts, fine and gross motor skills, and more through fun projects, personal and group reflection time, stories, and curiosity-inspired wandering - all in the great outdoors.
