I have gone to sleep away camp for 5 years, and this RICH Camp by far has been the best summer of my life. I have made amazing friends that I know I will definitely keep in touch with! I will never forget the memories I made this summer.

Jacob Brown    12 year old, London

I was surprised by how much I actually loved all the teachers and classes, I learned so much and it will help me in many years to come. I met so many cool people and practiced so much Chinese, I can’t wait to tell my friends all about this trip and show off my new language abilities!

The program was wonderful in every way. The teachers and staff are very mature and experienced and did a good job of supervising and leading. I really like Mandarin now. Thank You.


Victoria Lau    16 year old, HongKong

This summer was awesome. I did not expect language classes to be so much fun. This program has really changed me and I am so grateful for the opportunity. You really cannot go home unchanged by this. We bonded more as a family than we did as a group. I am going to miss everyone and I couldn’t have asked for a better director or leader.

Not only did I improve my Chinese, but my eyes were opened to a new culture and I was able to experience this phenomenon while gaining independence and making lifelong friends.


This was a great first experience going away for Conor. He really enjoyed all the activities and meeting new people. As parents, we appreciated the excellent communication and attention to detail, balanced with giving the kids a real sense of independence.

Theo arrived home safely. He was very happy about his stay with RICH camp, and hopefully it will give a further kick to his Putonghua. I wanted to thank you for everything, your patience and time. We have two other daughters and we may send them to your camp next year or the following. Thanks a lot again. All the best.”

Just to let you know that Gus is absolutely thrilled to be there at RICH camp and says that he loves it so much that he wants us to start saving so we can send him again next year. Many thanks to you and all your colleagues for all your efforts to develop such a strong and interesting programme. . And thanks even more more the pictures posted everyday on facebook.

First I wanted to let you know that Eile made a safe trip back home. He had a great time at RICH camp and was both happy to be back home but a bit sad to have left the camp. Thank you for all the efficient organization! My wife and I were really happy seeing the camp photos every night on your Facebook. It’s really a rewarding experience for Eile and we would definitely recommend your camp to our friends!

Mr. Cortes    Miami

I would like to thank you very much for all your assistance and care that you took of our son, Alex Cortes, I must confess that my wife and I were very nervous about Alex going by himself to China but you made all the difference in the world. Alex had a great time and according to his Chinese teacher here in the US, he seemed to have learned quite a bit of Mandarin and about taking responsibility for himself - thank you very much to you and the whole camp staff for a job well done and all the caring!!.

Mrs. Dorthe    Germany

Thanks RICH! The kids truly had a great time, they just can’t stop talking about the camp the whole time and even talk to each other in Mandarin sometimes. They are looking forward to be part of 2013 summer camp!”
