Our Winter Camp in Providence University has a total 5 days of Chinese Learning camp, which included 2 cultural activities and Taichung's city tour.
Besides learning the basics of Mandarin, like verbs, nouns, and tones, Providence University's Chinese learning camp focuses more on daily conversation to let the students confidently introduce themselves or buy foods and daily items in full Mandarin.
Joining the Winter Camp not only allows the students to learn traditional Chinese, but they also might get a chance to make new friends at Providence University, which also improves their conversation skills through chatting.

Final Presentation
On the final day at Providence University, students have to show what they have learned these past few days, which they presented astonishingly well. They must've worked very hard to prepare for this presentation.
The topic of the presentation is self-introduction; students have to use full Chinese to present and prepare for the slideshows. Of course, they complete the presentation spectacularly. After the presentation, each of the students was given a certificate of completion by Providence University's C.L.E.C. (Chinese Language Education Center).
