UH Manoa hosts Chinese language immersion sports camp

 

The STARTALK/Confucius Institute Chinese language immersion sports camp is now accepting applications for its three-week residential program on the UH Manoa campus. Thirty motivated middle and high school students, ages 12-17, with no or little experience in Chinese, will be selected to participate. Half will be from Hawai'i and the rest from the U.S. mainland. Participants will acquire basic communication skills in Chinese, and use these skills to make friends with each other during the camp, as well as getting to know contemporary China and its culture. For physical activity, they will practice table tennis and martial arts daily, under the tutelage of championship level instructors from the People's Republic of China. Alumni of the camp are invited to travel to China in subsequent summers. The camp will begin on July 5 and end on July 23.
