History in Action

Students get to learn about the different time periods of history, so why not experience it first-hand. Our students in New York City will get to visit the Museum of Chinese in America where students will learn about the Chinese experience in the US. . Since students are house in Lower Manhattan, a short train ride to Chinatown will give them a taste of what the streets of China look like. Lower Manhattan has great views of the Freedom Tower, the 9/11 Memorial and Statue of Liberty which will give the students a taste of how much New York City is filled with History. 

 

Entertainment 

NYC Students will get to experience live concerts hosted by the Today 

Show and Good Morning America. In the past, we have attended concerts 

by Shaggy, Nicki Minaj, and One Republic to name some. During Leisure 

time with Counselors, students might choose to go out and watch a movie

 or go to sites like Times Square, of course accompanied by their counselor. 

 

Organized Excursions

If the time permits, some of our  students will take trips out of New York

City and travel to Boston and Philadelphia, to name some, and take advantage of what every city offers. If in Boston, students will take tours of Harvard University and visit Historic Sites.NYU students are able to take trips to the Metropolitan Museum, 

go shopping on Fifth Avenue, or attend a Broadway show of their Choice

 

     Culture and traditions are heavily instilled in Chinese lifestyle, so the emphasis of the camp is to teach students simple traditions. Some of the activities students might participate in include Paper Cutting and Caligraphy. Below is a sample of some of the lessons that might be conducted.
