Hi Ganga, Thank you for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, we will not be able to prorate the fee for 4 days, as all of our summer camp weekly fees are fixed. Regarding the theme for this week, we are currently offering 2 different themes for our 3 camps. Our a-CAMp, which is our general academic camp, focusing on subjects such as math, English, and science, has an Among Us theme for this week. This is also the theme for our Chinese Immersion camp, which is very similar to a-CAMp, but conducted fully in Chinese. Our i-CAMp, which is a more STEM & technology focused camp, is themed towards 3D printing for this week. If you would like to register your son, we will be able to help you take the next steps. Thank you for your continued understanding! Best regards, The CAM Team -

Hi Eve, Thank you for reaching out to us! The specific summer camp link that you have chosen (Disney Mandarin Summer Camp: 与迪士尼一起冒险! (Virtual)) will be conducted entirely in Chinese. However, we also offer virtual summer camps in which only the Mandarin enrichment portion is conducted in Chinese, taught by our experienced native Chinese teachers, and the rest is conducted in English, available at the following link: https://www.activityhero.com/biz/cam-educational-services-59550/a-camp-summer-2021-virtual Regardless of your child's experience level with Chinese, our teachers will be able to help them grow their knowledge - many of our students come in with no prior Mandarin experience, and still find our classes incredibly enriching, as they start from the basics. I hope this helps. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions, and we would be happy to assist. Best regards, CAM Educational Services Team -

Hi Nels, Thank you for your inquiry. Your child does not need to have Minecraft installed on your personal computer in order to participate in this class - we will provide your son with a temporary copy of Minecraft to use during the class time. Regarding the itinerary, the class has multiple time options that you should be able to see on the registration screen. While the schedule is listed from 9 AM to 4 PM, there are three options available in order to meet the needs of all customers: 9 AM to 1 PM (Morning), 12 PM to 4 PM (Afternoon), or 9 AM to 4 PM (Full-Day) - the same schedule will be followed up to the end point for all three options. I hope that helped clarify the situation. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions - we're always happy to help. Best, The CAM Team -

Hello, I am trying to enroll my kid in this class and the price stated here gets inflated when I go to Checkout. After I add a participant, I see 5 items for "Registration Fee" and 6 items for "Material Fee" get added, which increases the total by $90 and those items cannot be removed. Is this correct? Why are there so many additional fees on top of the listed price? I am disappointed that the price stated here does not include all the fees if those are mandatory.

Hi, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this camp would absolutely be appropriate. Many of our students in the past have had very limited experience with Minecraft and have still found success in our camps in the past, as we teach to your child's skill level. Regarding the schedule, you can choose to sign up for a full-day session (from 9 AM to 4 PM), or a half-day session (either 9 AM to 1 PM or 1 PM to 4 PM). The schedule listed is the full-day schedule. However, if you choose to sign up for a half-day session, we will still follow the same schedule, just for your chosen portion of the day. Please let me know if you have any further questions - we'd be happy to help. Best, Skylar -
