What is summer camp?
Each year, Chinese camp directors hire staff from all across the world to teach campers new skills and become positive role models throughout the summer.
Summer camp is the ideal place for young adults to develop leadership skills and confidence in a unique environment.
YOUR YOUNG PERSON WILL RETURN MORE RESPONSIBLE AND MATURE, WITH A WELL-ROUNDED OUTLOOK ON THE WORLD.

WE HAND-PICK OUR PARTNERING CAMPS, ENSURING THEY PLACE A HIGH VALUE ON PROVIDING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.
We visit all of our camps each year, maintaining a trusting relationship with the best, most diverse camps across China. If we wouldn't send our own kids there, we wouldn't send yours, either.

KEY pre-departure events:
Before accepting people onto the Adventure China program, we want to make sure that each of our participants would be a great fit for camp.
Once they have started their application, one of our Melbourne based Adventure China experts will reach out for a skype interview to get to know your young person better.
These 'interviews' tend to be quite informal & are a great way to answer any questions and leave them feeling well-informed about camp in China.
We work with many different camps across China. Camp directors want to make sure all of their staff are the perfect fit for their particular camp - and we want to make sure your young person is in a place where they'll thrive.
Camp directors love meeting potential candidates before camp, so they'll arrange a Skype interview before hiring them.
As part of our award winning support service, we hold mandatory pre-departure preparation sessions to equip our participants with everything they need to know before heading to camp.
