Cultural Summer Camps

Our Joyous Chinese Cultural School Cultural Camps let your child discover new and exciting aspects of China’s rich history and culture through workshops and activities that are approachable and engaging! With cultural education rooted in adoption, our cultural summer camps focus on cultural connection and celebration, without the expectation of previous knowledge.

Camps For Your Roots

Engaging Workshops

Our cultural camp workshops are hands-on experiences that promise to get your child out of their seats and excited about each lesson! Whether it’s learning a new traditional Chinese craft, cooking a tasty Chinese dish, or learning silly songs and traditional poems to help build their vocabulary, your child will come home every day with something new to share!

Passionate Teachers

With a heart for adoption and a joy for teaching, all of our cultural camp teachers share a deep passion for exploring Chinese culture with their students and love engaging new campers, whatever their experience level! With the help of our JCCS camp counselors, campers are able to connect with Chinese culture through fantastic mentors of all ages.

Meaningful Connections

Quality cultural education opportunities are very important to us. Through any of our cultural camp offerings, your child will get to meet other children around the country (and maybe even the world!) who share the same interest in, connection to, and/or passion for Chinese culture. The connections formed at our summer cultural camps help fortify a healthier sense of self and greater confidence for your child!
