Expat kids summer camp opens in HCM City

The nine-day camp running through July 27 offers local and expat kids the opportunity of a lifetime, they said, with a program offering plenty of chances to meet new friends from around the globe and enjoy amazing adventures.

The camp organized by the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs (COVA) and HCM City Youth Union focuses on scientific, age appropriate, hands-on workshops and experiments.

We offer supervised educational and fun activities, said Phan Van Hai, chairman of COVA, which will take place both indoors and outdoors depending on weather conditions.

Among the varied activities planned are visits in HCM City to historical relic sites, popular tourism destinations and farms all designed to give expat kids a better understanding of today’s Vietnamese society and culture.

On fieldtrips to Da Lat, the kids will also get an up-close look and learn the basics of the ancient art of weaving, tour a strawberry plantation, experience Gong culture and hold people to people exchanges with central highlanders.
