About camp

First established in 2019, our Beijing camp is now going on its 4th year in operation! Located on the Reignwood Country Club property in Changping District roughly 60km from Capital Airport, this location is simply the best option in Beijing for comfortable camping with rustic elements! 

Our property boasts sports pitches, a massive indoor gym with a climbing wall, a laser tag course, horse riding fields, golf ranges, an indoor swimming pool and much more. 

The community is truly what makes camp, and we assure you our community of staff and campers is the place for your child to feel comfortable and grow.

DAY 1

After arriving at camp and getting to know their bunkmates and counsellors (Icebreakers included, Greenwoods style!), campers will be introduced to GW camp spirit at the opening ceremony! 

Here they will learn about what’s in store during the week, as well as camp rules and special events.

Campers during this time also pick their Electives* for the week. Electives fall into 3 main categories. Outdoor Adventure, Sport, and The Arts. There is a diverse range of activities in each category and we do our best for campers to get one of their top two choices.

*Electives are a fixed activity students will build on throughout the week, oftentimes working towards a project to showcase on the last day of camp.

DAY 2

After getting settled in overnight, campers are up and off for their first jam-packed day of activities. In the morning, they’ll have their first “Flag” where announcements are made for the day and also daily nominations based on our core values. Oh, and let’s not forget bunk chants! Our way of building a cohesive bunk unit.  Flex* periods are chosen before breakfast!

*Flex periods are another period where our campers can explore! Flexes are chosen daily from a list of available activities for that day. The periods are designed, created, and run entirely inspired by our beautiful camp staff! Also drawing from the unique skills that our amazing staff, these flexes could be anything from Scottish country dancing, or hey even learning a language! Sports, scout skills and more. 

DAY 3-6

Campers will spend their days trying out a whole range of different activities, from swimming to archery, rock climbing to fire making its all go at camp! 

Campers will return to their bunks after lunch each day for rest hour where they can recharge, hang out with their bunkmates, get to know their counsellors, read, and relax.. 

There will also be a fantastic variety of evening activities such as dance parties, talent shows, game nights, and much more!

DAY 7

All good things must come to an end, and camp is no different. Goodbyes are always tough - for our staff, too! Campers will have their final breakfast with their bunks and then it’s on to the closing ceremony where they will receive their certificates and off to home and back to reality!

Q

Are cellphones, tablets, headphones and other electronic products allowed during camp for voice or video chat?

A: We intend to create a “tech free” environment at camp to provide children with the opportunity to "sign off", yet "plug in" to those around them. Especially after a period of increased screen time, we trust that a tech free zone is just what our kids need today. All electronics brought to camp will be collected at the beginning of camp and returned to them at the end. Certainly many children will be sent to camp with phones, yet it is important to have a conversation with your child about our electronics policy prior to camp opening.

Q

Are there any washing machines at the camp for the children?

A: No washing machines will be available for children at camp. We strongly advise campers to pack accordingly for their one week stay. Children are free to hand wash items and hang dry. For two weekers we have an overnight weekend where washing machines will be available.

For younger campers it’s suggested that parents should pack daily clothes for children separately, to help them decide what to wear each day.

Q

Can the counselors help tie-up / dry my daughters hair?

A: Children are accompanied by counselors of the same gender in their bunks, and they will help children tie up/dry their hair.

Q

Is there a post-lunch break?

A: Yes, at camp we help find a balance for kids active lifestyle by offering them a 'rest hour' after lunch. Children are welcomed to read, chat, rest, quiet play during their time in their bunks and out of the sun.

Q

Can I get an invoice/fapiao?

A: Yes, please contact your sales representative. Fapiaos are available within 1 month after the given camp session.
