If you’ve got kids – especially school-aged kids – then the Jingkids Summer Fling is the go-to event of the season.

We’ve planned a full day of fun in the sun for the whole family, centered around some of Beijing’s most trustworthy and reliably fantastic summer camps, who will be on hand to help you find out how you and your family can make the most of the long break. More importantly, however, we’ve made sure that the camp organizers will be showcasing their programs through interactive activities for children. There’s no stuffy, socially awkward sales person standing behind a booth trying to hand you bland pamphlets. At the Jingkids Summer Fling, your kids get to enjoy hands on activities with every single camp. Think of it as a sampler for Beijing’s best summer camps!

Everything from science-related camps to dance, sports, academics, and finance. Simply put, the Jingkids Summer Fling is going to be a blast!

Here’s a quick list of FAQs based on questions that we’ve been getting from parents over the last week.

Q: Will there be food?
A: Absolutely! You can bring your own food and drinks, but there will also be a variety of vendors. We’re not talking about those weird sausage stands that you see in Chaoyang Park. At the Jingkids Summer Fling, there will be food vendors like Jooma selling their signature blend of healthy and delicious yogurt, Basil, the new healthy lifestyle meal plan for those who want to eat better but don’t want to sacrifice their taste buds, Peach by Hulu who is a new Beijing foodie favorite, Go!Acai with fresh juices, Pinvita with ice cream (because every picnic needs ice cream), and many others.

Q: Can I bring my pets?
A: Sorry. No pets allowed this time.

Q: Can we bring a small grill?
A: No. Open flames are not allowed.

Q: I bought a family ticket. What does that include?
A: A family ticket includes entry for 2 adults + 1 child. If you have additional members in your family you can purchase more tickets for RMB 50 per person.

Q: Is there a kid’s price ticket?
A: No. Single entry tickets are RMB 50/person regardless of age. However, if you have a baby who can’t yet walk, they can come in for free.

Q: Is there parking?
A: Yes.

Q: Is there a bathroom on site?
A: Yes. The picnic is taking place just feet away from the Dongfeng International Sports Park clubhouse where there’s a nice clean bathroom. No baby changing tables though.

Q: What happens if it rains?
A: If it rains on May 22 we’ll postpone the Summer Fling to May 23. We’ll notify all attendees on May 21 if we’ll be postponing the event. Be sure to follow us on WeChat (ID: beijing-kids) to stay updated.

Q: My child is still a baby. Are they too young for Summer Fling?
A: Not at all! While the majority of camp activities are for older kids, Laureate Daycare will be there and they specialize in children starting from 5 months old. Plus, kids are never too young to just enjoy the nice weather on a picnic blanket.
