Their expat counsellors have carefully designed each week of the Old Peking Adventures Summer Camp curriculum to suit the different interests of different age groups. Weeks 1, 2, 4 and 5 are day camps designed for campers both young and old who will be split up according to their age groups, while Weeks 3 and 6 include an overnight itinerary suitable for older kids comfortable with staying the night by themselves.
