About Beijing Camp

Beijing is one of the world's great capitals — a city where three thousand years of imperial history meet cutting-edge innovation. Home to the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Temple of Heaven, it holds more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other city on Earth. Yet modern Beijing is equally remarkable: world-class universities, a thriving technology scene, and a cultural energy that blends ancient tradition with 21st-century ambition.

Our Beijing Camp immerses students in this living dialogue between past and present. Campers explore the Great Wall on foot, navigate the labyrinthine lanes of Beijing's hutongs, and receive a private tour of Tsinghua University guided by international exchange students. Along the way, they take part in hands-on workshops — from Peking Opera facial-paint to an AI + Design maker class — that connect historic culture to the ideas shaping tomorrow.

Each evening is designed for reflection and connection: Starry Night Chats, a Reflection Diary sharing session, and an International Cultural Market give students from across the world the chance to share their own stories while deepening their understanding of China.
