Arrive May, the summer vacation time that many mom begin to be the child is arranged " angst " -- the way that rapid move seeks summer camp of all sorts of summer vacation time. Face all sorts of each multifarious countries on market, type summer camp, a lot of mom do not know how to start.
Article author is a father that takes 2 treasure with one's own hands, after oneself understood many mixed international schools, interviewed again errant the round-the-world traveler friend that passes 100 many nations -- " come more than 10 years, she is annual cold summer vacation is taking two daughters to go to the summer camp of world each district, all sorts of mysteries when battalion of choose of deep know well and skill. " here, talk about summer camp with everybody in those " hole " .
Careful one not careful became " Xiaobai rat "
The summer camp nowadays, resemble once the fashionable abstruse number at every school the class is same, make a kind of trend. Do not look after children it seems that go to summer camp, oneself are not an eligible parents like. Below such big environment, multifarious orgnaization is increasing like emerge, all sorts of swimming learn, project of join a class in the middle of the course has too many visitors or business to deal with, make sciolistic still to summer camp parent more confused, also made one part parent spent big money to step on hole however.
Summary of 2 treasure pa comes down, the main reason that hole forms has so a few:
It is information asymmetry above all. Although the summer camp of the mainstream has government-owned net, but the person that should accomplish offset of information of camping ground product to expend is completely transparent and open, a very difficult still issue -- before the pressure that lives in the temptation of profit and orgnaization especially. The admittance doorsill that is this industry next is quite ambiguous. Teach swift and violent evolution in camping ground today, camping ground sort and optional choose sex are more too much than was being abounded in the past. But meanwhile, this also is an industry that did not make clear admittance doorsill, a lot of moment appear the good and bad are intermingled, good and evil people mixed up.
Meanwhile, the promotion of very much now summer camp, of support is public date dispatch, net red recommend wait for method, some channel give money to be popularized with respect to dispatch, no matter oneself walk,also nod; Even a few forms that pack look be like elegant summer camp, it is only actually " outside bag " or be do the first year, "Bug " one pile, parents are very easy choose summer camp sensibly because of all sorts of excessive sale and rather than, became small white rat not carefully.
Swim the hole that learns circuit
Believe you are right also such hole somewhat hear of: How did summer camp become tourism group? Wrong, this is a tourism group originally, just pretended summer camp...
Blow fiercer more as summer camp upsurge, a lot of people still do not understand how to return a responsibility, arrive with respect to the nip that be wrapped by angst in this spring tide. A lot of mom see many intermediary orgnaizations are hit " be enmeshed environment of type English conversation " " experience beautiful type is taught " wait for catchphrase, what see the others in friend circle bask in a child to follow international friend again is lofty go up group photo, bite gnash one's teeth one stamp, the flower signed up tens of thousands of pieces to the child.
And in fact, the child went time of United States, "Swim " be more than " learn " , gambling house played even Las Vegas, the time that participates in course actually still may be less than 24 hours.
According to the view of the personage inside course of study, swim for the most part on the market at present learn, often flow at " swim not to learn only " . Live frugaly of a lot of parents is beautiful tens of thousands of send the child to attend so called " elite summer camp " , besides short schooltime, remaining is company of highway of big bridge of visiting Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, golden gate, starlight, Silicon Valley everyday these all and free projects. Change and of character: Spent the money of 339, take a picture before popular tourist attraction namely, visit the free tourist attraction, child with the foreign country to make a friend...
Not only it is Euramerican summer camp such, the Thailand summer camp of big now heat, also have similar appearance actually. For example compatriots is the hottest the Qing Dynasty that hold in both hands is stridden, no more than of some summer camp looks after children namely to small pure and fresh people the net red tourist attraction that love goes to playing card, outdoor moves arboretum to walk along circuit -- myself looks after children to also can play, the concern with You Xuezhen is not big.
Grind carefully read a You Xuexia content of your battalion journey, had better contrast again convention of circuitry of one similarly hereinafter follows round processional Cheng, perhaps you can discover among them mystery: Summer camp and swim with the group, the journey is not had how old difference, much merer summer camp course of 3 days, you are understandable also into, course of alleged summer camp, no more than is the classroom home moved abroad just.
And, because had " You Xuexia makes battalion " of this concept pack, former price is the 2 times above that latter swims with the group normally. The price with such high empty, abeter abroad swim those who learn this market is cruel grow.
So, the specific content that is clear about every project must understand before sign up, ability is discriminated piece, it is to trot along on horseback after all view flower sees a tourist attraction, still be unique deepness immerge and experience. For instance, I had seen a Chinese is in London university of some famous brand is become teacher lecturer, he and the summer camp that the friend organizes, can look after children the office that enters him, seeing teacher of a Chinese is how to prepare lessons, how to give lessons to the undergraduate that comes from the whole world, the high-grade test that how does automation research and development... these experiences are unique, that is mixed the experience of other like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water-touch on sth without going into it deeply is completely different.
The hole that lofty above holds
Remember please, in every case loves to use easily in the introduction " most, the first, TOP1 " wait for a word to introduce summer camp, need raises vigilance. The reason has 2: Above all, advertisement law itself does not allow to be publicized with such word, explain at least have excessive sale and false advertising suspicion, such summer camp, sincere letter is owed act according to. Next, take American summer camp for, on those government-owned nets, won't use the world the first, most what most the word conduct propaganda such as what packs him, because American summer camp presses a root to do not have any ranks -- in fact, good summer camp all along won't, also do not need to advertise with these vocabularies.
Actually, put Europe of England, north, Australia even the summer camp of southeast Asia and other places, also be to manage together. Those are used very exaggerative the word will allege oneself " the history the longest, parent reputably highest, somewhere the first brand " summer camp, we still are many heart, best stay at a respectful distance from sb.
Though information is not complete symmetrical, we still have channel of a few tripartite and platform, come understanding of flank business class. For example, you should understand American summer camp, besides can go up outside net of summer camp official, also can use American edition masses to comment on Yelp, will examine the evaluation to summer camp. Yelp has webpage edition, also have App. Above that, people of a lot of United States was to spit skill good chamfer really. For instance, with so-called STEM for the Galileo of the first battalion, can see a lot of true assessments. In addition, these places of Facebook, Ins, also can pass the keyword that searchs summer camp name, get Lin Lin always total information, results compares complete evaluation information to this summer camp. Suggest grading of not smooth hotspot is counted, should specific read a review, especially comment of 3 years nearly two.
The hole of curricular content
Because,still be information asymmetry, certain summer camp is in curricular description, with all sorts of lofty go up word flicker you, let you minute minutes be stayed in by renown head bluff, what " education child future heads force " " whole sealing is enmeshed type English environment " ... and content criterion sadly shrink, try to palm off sth. inferior to what it purports to be, even " tone is wrapped " ...
Face " summer camp of join a class in the middle of the course " " Thespian summer camp " " STEM battalion " ... many parents metropolis not know what to do. And actually, summer vacation join a class in the middle of the course is scarcer -- no matter be Europe, United States, still be southeast Asia Thailand, Singapore, the student had a holiday. Have Australia, New Zealand only, can be by July during arriving by August, have the most how old make an appointment with the possibility of join a class in the middle of the course all around. Some summer camp are so-called " join a class in the middle of the course attends class American school " , can think again carefully, a class is arranged suddenly 10 come to a China student, which regular school can agree? Is this to disturb the school attends class normally order?
And, the school majority of join a class in the middle of the course is public school, public school summer vacation does not attend class, where is student of that United States come? It is to swim actually more very learn orgnaization and school to cooperate together, "Return hire " American student will accompany Chinese student to attend class, give American student certain award again. So-called battalion of the Thespian summer camp that American student attends, STEM has many it is this mode.
Winter vacation is opportunity of best join a class in the middle of the course, because American winter vacation is mixed,Chinese winter vacation staggered. That is to say, when China is on winter vocation, american school attends class normally, such can organic meetings experience American classroom truly.
To the summer camp of a few join a class in the middle of the course that hanging renown officer title, many more certain also heart.
Sometimes, those are making the summer camp of renown school fascia, such as is lofty the Ha Fo that go up ah, Stanford ah of what, it is the classroom of hire Ha Fo, Stanford only actually, the teacher concerned to also be done not have with these universities -- the classroom is borrowed, the teacher is American, almost China comes to the student.
Wait a moment, those American teachers also often are by " tone is wrapped " -- the full-time teacher of this school, can stay in summer those who continue to attend class is very few, most teacher summer vacation takes him child to travel. The teacher of that summer camp from why and come? Some schools are the teacher of summer camp of his group operation invite applications for a job, cooperate together by this school teacher and summer camp teacher. The summer camp teacher that summer vacation time holds two or more posts concurrently is compared mostly young have energy, still be educational department more very in school undergraduate. These teachers are not to say bad, just the parent does not think hitting school of Silicon Valley name, Berkeley the summer camp of renown head, with respect to the teacher that is that him school certainly.
So, choose this kind of summer camp, must arrangement of particularly advertent program. Very much swim learn summer camp, visiting campus spends money probably to queue up to read poll namely. Such trotting along on horseback the excursion of the type that watch a flower calls a journey the group, not be summer camp.
I have a friend, ever let the child had entered an international summer camp, hitting " visit international name school " fascia, expenditure does not poor... the result just is however in Ha Fo campus took a large group photo, pull two Chinese student studying abroads that just came to the United States to talk about the daily life of a family.
Again for instance the friend sends the child to go to England attending swim learn, this thinking is to let the child learn to Cambridge, but sitting on Cantabrigian meadow namely actually. Arrived summer vacation, yang of the Wu Yang on Cantabrigian meadow is Chinese child ah... still bring child as oneself, eat to play weller, return save money.
The child enters the pit of battalion age
Some summer camp to earn money, set restriction scarcely to the child's age, 3 years old two also have a class, but it is mostly " close child swim together " form.
According to the view of seasoned parent: Also not be not to support too small child to spend tens of thousands of yuan to run big old far go entering summer camp, after all to low age temperament training of the child and culture edification, of the effect that still has exert a subtle influence on sb's character. But low age child first abroad battalion, proposal choice is integrated kind of battalion, motion, exploration, artistic project has, the child won't be as dry as a chip, language communication barrier is inferior also. But count with the Chinese stranger of the group best can have controlled, do not suggest low age the good friend of the child and him age similar or kin sign up together. Once be divided to be in same in the class, two children often collect plays him whole journey together oneself, such word, enter summer camp also the result that short of wants originally.
Friend and 2 treasure father said a paragraph of such experience: Her home 5 years old of much little sisters, english ability namely the condition of simple This Is, the first day enters camp is bitter face, wiping tear to be taken by the teacher. Visit cumshaw sail area all the way, discover when follow at sb' heels in the dark, although little girl is very sentimental still, was transferred by new environment apparently however a lot of attention. Children are playing all sorts of gadgety, the teacher is introducing Rules, the little sister follows an instruction very quickly to join " trainset " team, began new camp team smoothly to live.
When receive young daughter to afternoon, peremptory a pair " I am camping ground master " condition, reveal that to look terribly to mom great " coarse " work, dash along tell about the fun that happened that day...
Of course, whether should give low age child choose battalion, still be opinions differ from each other.
Individual of 2 treasure pa feels, too small child (4 years old the following) , the summer camp that can try thematic sex (motion, art) , but not anxious attend early swim learn kind summer camp. Child unlike adult can read a character to understand the implication of backside, ta needs ground of true, deepness to participate in more just have among them experience. Calculate a high school student may not can be short the understands place quickly humanitarian history inside time, what is more,the rather that smaller child.
Bring a child of 34 years old, go seeing what Stanford aha Buddha ah, this kind of means that swims to learn again again, final child may not play good already, what to acquire. Attend travel as serious ground pure enjoy a group, give the child the company period of leave of a high quality. Or, of door mouth 985, 211 universities campus walks along circuit, the atmosphere of scallion campus, the child also can be affected like, return be economical to save energy, be?
Exercise English hole
Let the child take door going abroad, enter exotic summer camp, I believe majority parents and the idea of 2 treasure pa are same: Want to create environment of a pure English to the child, should rubbing ear also is good. So, when choosing summer camp, the proposal wants to inspect the school cautiously " English environment " .
For instance, went the city that Qing Dynasty strides this kind to be fried to heat up by the Chinese in recent years, chose the popular international school in memory of a compatriots again, probable you can be faced " Chinese student is swarmed in class " state, that with respect to things go contrary to one's wishes (feel embarrassed, take Qing Dynasty to stride citing again. Do not want to misunderstand, 2 treasure pa likes clear to stride very much, just over there international school is very much, the good and bad are intermingled, step on hole easily) .
Return some schools, the one caboodle child that may come to China is alone group a class, such more uninteresting.
So, before entering summer camp, it is clear to should seek advice without fail, it is what kind of recruit students concept and last year the scale of Chinese student is what kind of (run summer camp newly to what do not give referenced last year value, did not take a risk to go) .
Be sure to keep in mind: Those should sign up to be recruited only, also do not make any demands to English foundation of the child, probable a class is Chinese student.
2 treasure pa is in Ba bank is elegant when making an on-the-spot investigation, on general rules of recruit students of school of a certain small-sized international, the child that wants above 2 years old only is about, also do not take an examination of English, sign up pay to be able to be entered, have kind of feeling that pulling basket is dish. I was investigated, the summer camp class of this school, last year is Chinese child almost, be equal to change a place to say Chinese.
Of course, I feel another extreme also wants to notice: Pure English environment, also may not suits every China child.
Some orgnaizations can give the parent in sale material " engraft " a such concepts: English standard is wronger, enter summer camp through going abroad, rise faster. This is put in the suspicion of excessive sale actually.
The first, count on time of short 1-3 week, let advance rapidly of child English level, this is not actual, have exaggerated part. The 2nd, chinese child slants generally indrawn, the American summer camp of pure English environment, be not suit all children and family. Ever had chatted with the counsellor of summer camp of a lot of United States and director, their general feedback is: If child English does not calculate good, disposition compares the indrawn, word that dare not express his with English again, pass unpleasantly in summer camp normally -- the child more resembling is a spectator, is not participator.
For the person that this kind of circumstance is sponsorred to summer camp, also be very big challenge, they worry about the demand because of child him beyond expression very much and all sorts of safe problems of generation. A lot of summer camp of American, the child that hopes China comes more actually, certain English expresses ability and experience, is not English level is owed act according to indrawn and close-lipped child.
In addition, when choosing appropriate Camp, also need to notice the fitness of character of different project antonym asks.
Big daughter Ceng Can of the friend has added an Animal Camp. Because be thematic battalion, and it is to mix guest city zoological garden is joint, everyday the animal with metropolis different belt and child study zoo clerk together.
This battalion itself is in place also is very popular, child of some places United States attends a few years continuously. Meantime has go to the zoo nocturnal old activity, do task research in group even finally, make thematic report. It is taller that character of this project antonym asks to return relatively, especially animal kind vocabulary, animal of if the child is ferial very few contact kind English book, still meet some to take pain to, blend in feeling and fun the metropolis is a lot of lower.
So, want to give the child clearly fixed position, at what kind of English level, disposition is introversion or extroversion, mix according to integrated assess again analysis, choose the summer camp that photograph of a temperamental color matchs for the child.
Face annulus fertilizer swallow is thin all sorts of uneven abroad summer camp, how should choose after all?
Everybody of proposal of 2 treasure pa parents, form by the student, accommodation program, content, sponsor an orgnaization 4 respects will understand and choose integratedly. Want again carefully to be clear about, oneself child is what disposition after all, what age paragraph, english level how, what does hope Ta acquire, go looking for those who suit Ta again.
