Each Regional event offers participants deeper engagement and localized exploration of China’s diverse camp education landscape—through multi-dimensional settings, rich content, and differentiated experiences. Every Regional event is carefully curated to integrate professional seminars, thematic forums, local camp visits, and immersive cultural tours, allowing participants to gain cutting-edge industry insights while experiencing the dynamic charm and diversity of China.
