Expand your favorite kiddos’ understanding of the world through fun, interactive, and meaningful activities at the ExploreAsia Summer Camps starting in June throughout August 2017 at Asia Society Texas Center.
Featuring a wide variety of camps designed to engage students with Asian culture, this summer day camp program places an emphasis on being as interactive as it is educational.
Set at the Asia Society Texas Center in the heart of the Museum District, ExploreAsia Summer Camps offers different workshops for ages 6 to 14, providing chances to dive into art, history, dance, and more.
Children will have a chance to take the stage after learning all about traditional/contemporary dances as well as create their own original short stories after taking inspiration from their favorite Japanese comics (or mangas). These options just scratch the surface of camp programming.
