New: 2013 Hight School Students Summer Camp

This announcement is brought to you as a service of the UAA-CI.  The 2013 High School Student Summer Camp program has been announced by the Hanban (the Office of Chinese Language Council International). It is organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters and funded by the Hanban. Students who apply for the camp will have the opportunity to visit Chinese cities, learn the Chinese language and experience the Chinese culture. The Hanban covers applicant activities, lodging, food, and ground transportation fees while in China and applicants need to pay for their international airfare, travel insurance, and visa fee.For high school summer camp, supervision is important, so the Hanban provides funding for one chaperone for every 10 students. Detailed description and information can be accessed in the attached Hanban documents.

The summer camp time will be held in July 2013 and the application deadline is April 25th, 2013. The application process is listed below:

1.Students apply to their schools and the school responsible persons send all the scanned applications to the UAA Confucius Institute via email (at: UAACI@uaa.alaska.edu) .

2.The UAA-CI sends the applications to the Confucius Institute Headquarters for review and approval.

3.The Confucius Institute Headquarters sends back the approved applications and the UAA-CI notifies each school to confirm the numbers of approved applicants.

4.Each school gathers the passports of accepted applicants and sends to the UAA-CI by mail (at: Confucius Institute, University of Alaska Anchorage, Rasmuson Hall 115,3211 Providence Drive Anchorage, AK 99508).

5.The UAA-CI sends all the applicants' passport to the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco to get the vises.

6.The UAA-CI sends back passports with issued vises back to each school.

7.The UAA-CI provides a pre-departure orientation to all the applicants face to face or virtually.

All applicants will form a large group for the trip. Last year, Bartlett High School at Anchorage functioned as the group leader and took a group of 14 students to attend the 2012 summer camp. Therefore, schools and school districts with fewer students are encouraged to contact Bartlett High School or Anchorage School District for detailed information about how to join the group.

As indicated above, the UAA-CI facilitates the application process by passing on the applications submitted by schools to the Confucius Institute Headquarters, helping the applicants to apply for their visas for China and offering a pre-departure orientation.
