News & EventsEducation Hub “Master Series” Summer Camp in Greater Bay Area Delivers Unique Experiences for Kids and Teens

Summer campers aged 5 to 14 prepare to get “Future World Ready” through exclusive experiences led by world-renowned experts in their fields

Last month, CTF Education Group (“CTFEG”) celebrated the Grand Opening of The Education Hub (the “Hub”) in Panyu, Guangzhou, the Greater Bay Area (“GBA”), providing K-12 students with infinite opportunities through unparalleled resources to prepare them to thrive in a fast-evolving, dynamic world. This summer, the Hub in Mainland China will welcome expert educators and industry professionals to lead its first “Master Series” Summer Camp, providing unique experiences for kids and teens aged 5 to 14. 

Innovative Programmes Curated by Experts 
Through the Hub’s “Kindervarsity” model, which brings together a community of learners, educators, researchers, and industry professionals for the future of K-12 education, the Hub is creating a new K-12 learning experience based on collaboration and community. The new Summer Camp offers drama, musical theatre, creative dramatics, design, innovation and technology, bioengineering, Chinese culture and literature, and sports, to inspire kids and teens like never before! The Camp in Mainland China will be held in Mandarin and English.

Entering the World of Technology and Innovation
Kids and teens at the Summer Camp Innovation Series will enjoy hands-on experience in the real world of I&T. They will visit automotive factories to understand how vehicles are assembled; conduct experiments on DNA recombination technology; explore graphical and Python/C++ programming using drones, Vex and Matrix robots; and gain practical experience with engineering design, 3D printing, and robotics.

Cultivating Business Knowledge in A Chinese Cultural Context
Campers will also explore how Sun Tzu (孫子兵法) applies to modern day commerce tactics in business at the Chinese Culture in Business Series led by a master historian and enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the Guangzhou TV Station. Campers will be assigned tasks and may even record, produce and air their results!

Chinese immersion through exposure to Lingnan Culture is one of the highlights of this inaugural Summer Master Series: Participants will have the opportunity to experience the art of pressed flowers and Guangcai (traditional hand-painted porcelain) to cultivate their aesthetic sense, imagination, and creativity. 

All The World’s A Stage for Summer Campers
In the Performing Arts Series, kids and teens will take to the stage to explore themselves and their relationships through the world of theatre. Under the theme of “Family, Friendship and Resilience,” campers will create interactive performances about friendships and family members using different musicals and characters. Each performance, before a live audience, will be a window into their personal growth and transformation through the performing arts! 

Campus of Infinite Possibilities
At the Camp, participants will enjoy access to state-of-the-art Performing Arts, Sports, and Innovation Centre facilities to enrich their experiences and expand their horizons. They will also enjoy invaluable Boarding Life experiences, which are a stellar opportunity for older campers to develop new friendships with peers from across GBA while building communication and social skills.
