The Chinese Summer Camp
There are different options to come to China to attend summer school at LTL. All of them can be combined with each other.
For students from 7 to 17 years of age the summer camp program combines daily Chinese language classes and afternoon activities, weekend trips and a fully organized experience. Accommodation is either with a host family or our camp residence. We also offer a day camp option for minors traveling with their families, but students older than 11 can come to China by themselves. It is possible to combine a summer camp with a family trip or any of the other summer course options below. The camp takes place in Beijing and you can find more details on our Chinese summer camp page.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn Chinese and experience Chinese culture with a group of people who are hugely enthusiastic about China.
Small Group Classes
Any student of 15 years or older can join our regular Chinese summer group courses in both Beijing and Shanghai. You will either learn Mandarin in China’s capital or study Chinese in China’s largest city Shanghai. It is possible to combine a small group with a summer camp, family or 1-on-1 Chinese program. For students younger than 18, accommodation is always with a host family.

Study 1-on-1
Students of any age can take part in our individual Chinese classes during the summer in China. We have study Mandarin in China programs in all our Chinese summer schools and you can come for as short as a week or spend your whole summer learning Mandarin with us. Accommodation for minors is always with a Chinese host family unless you are traveling with your family.

Family Programs in China
Each family is different and we tailor every family program specifically to a family’s specific needs. Parents can join the studying experience or just accompany their children. Accommodation can be in a homestay, apartment or hotel, this is all up to you. We have experienced family program advisors who can help and advice you on how to best organize your family program in China. Just send us a message and let us know about your situation. You will have a detailed reply within less than a working day in your inbox.
The Guardian Program
The guardian program is already included in the summer camp, however for students younger than 18 studying any other program we offer the guardian program option.
It is compulsory for any students younger than 16 and recommended for students between 16 and 17 years of age and includes the additional support needed for a minor coming to China.
If you have a child younger than 18 who is planning to study Mandarin with us, please contact us for details. The Guardian Program is NOT a 24/7 support program. For more information on a 24/7 program, please read below.

Additional Guardian Options
Transport: This isn’t usually necessary as Beijing is a very safe city. Though if you would like your child to be accompanied to and from school, we can organise for a team member to do this. The costs will vary depending on the location of the homestay. As a rough guide, the cost will not exceed 1000 CNY/wk.
24/7 supervision upgrade: this option offers 24/7 supervision for your child. This includes accompanied transport to and from school with an LTL staff member. Your child will be looked after 24/7 by the LTL team.
Please note – The 24/7 upgrade requires the child to already have a guardian program. In our experience this is not necessary as long as your child behaves and follows our instructions.
Cost per week: 3,000CNY
