    Every summer in America, large numbers of children attend summer camps

    where they can relax, learn new activities, and make friends from around the

    United States and around the world.

    Increasingly, American summer camps are opening their doors to children

    from many countries, including China. This guide lists camps that have

    welcomed Chinese kids in the past or would be eager to in the future.

    The guide is written by Malia Cashel, an American student who attendssummer camps in America, and also lived previously in Chengdu, China.

    There are thousands of summer camps in America. Some have been running

    for over a century. This guide highlights camps which responded to a survey

    about programs for Chinese kids. A full list of camps in America can be

    found at the American Camp Association, at www. acacamps.org.

    making his/her selections. Our staff comes from a variety of colleges nationwide,
