About the provider

Founded in 1984, the program states that it aims to give Bay Area children the chance to experience and appreciate the rich heritage of Chinese and Chinese-American people. It also says the program stays affordable through community support, parent participation, and a volunteer parent board.

Campers do not have to be Chinese to attend; they only need an interest in learning about Chinese culture. Campers are grouped into a core class based on grade level, and each class is named after the Chinese zodiac symbol closely associated with their birth year. Optional supplemental classes are first-come, first-served based on space availability.
