Accommodation

Not every camp is the same - although the dorm room style is most common. Some of our camps have modern glamping-style tents and others have staff-only dorm rooms for counsellors.

You’ll be told the sleeping situation during your camp interview, so you’ll know what to expect before arriving at camp.



Food

Mealtimes have a family feel, as you sit around the table with your campers tucking into delicious dishes.

Meals are served in the canteen and typical dishes include stir fried vegetables with garlic and chilli, deep fried prawns, pork dumplings, tomato and egg soup, rice and steamed buns.

(So don’t worry, you won’t be eating spiders and cockroaches!)



Wifi & Electricity

Camp is great for disconnecting from technology - but we understand that you can’t go completely off the grid.

There are areas at camp where staff can use WIFI throughout the day and rooms have power outlets.

As it's difficult to access social media in China, we recommend joining WeChat so that you can contact us when you're there.



Facilities

Toilets, Showers, & Washing Machines

There are washing facilities at camp free of charge. All toilets at the camps are western style - but, depending on where you travel to after camp, you might not find the same. It’s all part of the adventure!
