 Mandarin and Chinese culture while having fun with arts
 & crafts & games. I realized a bit late that other
 parents start looking for summer camps early in the
 year, so I'm finding that a lot of them are already
 fully booked by now. But here's one that still has
 openings if anyone is interested. It will run for 2
 weeks in July from 9am to 3pm, and extended early-care
 & late-care will be available. I visited there
 yesterday to check it out and they have a nice facility

 Here's a bit more of what I know. This is the first
 year that CCC is running this Manadarin summer camp. I
 chose to sign up my twins after developing comfort from
 visiting their facility earlier this week. A lot of
 other Mandarin summer camps were running out of
 residential homes whereas this one seemed very
 professional in a nice facility with substantial
 resources and staffing.They're inside the Hilton Hotel
 in Chinatown. They have a beautiful modern art
 gallery, auditorium and gift shop on the 3rd floor, and
 they have their administrative offices and meeting
 spaces on the 4th. It's apparent that CCC has
 substantial funding from large corporations to fulfill
 their mission of preserving/promoting Chinese-American
 culture.I met Darin Ow-wing, Director of Education &
 Engagement who is in charge of the summer camp. In
 addition to his work at the CCC, he runs a business
 based in the East Bay called Language Alive that has
 after-school Mandarin language programs and summer
 camps. He's bringing one of his teachers to SF to run
 this summer camp, so although this is the first time at
 CCC, I trust that his organization knows how to run
 this type of program successfully. His bio is here: 
 
 http://www.c-c-c.org/menu-about/staff/staff-director-education/Their
 philosophy is that language is best learned by children
 if they're engaged in something fun instead of through
 repetition and drills. So the kids will be doing arts
