Taiwan Camps
We facilitate a number of different camps throughout Taiwan in order to grow and teach students of many ages. If you would like more information, or have any questions, be sure to contact us through email at info.campbeyond.org or over the phone at +886 7 556-8059.
Values Camp
Based on our popular US camp, we hold values camps in Taiwan as well. Through these camps, your child will build character, identify their values, and define a purpose for themselves; as well as improve their critical thinking and creative problem solving skills. This is all facilitated in an outdoor setting and activities are focused on understanding Aboriginal Paiwan culture and outdoor stewardship.
These camps are 3 to 7 days long and are held during holidays at our YingDe Farm facility in Pingtung County. We can take up to 100 students aged 12 to 18.
Students will sleep in American Sioux Indian style tipis and may bathe in fully functional showers at the farm. Meals are cooked in an onsite kitchen by an experienced cook and/or are catered from trustworthy local establishments.
We follow a condensed version of the same 6 Decisions curriculum used for our US camp. It is modified to fit the shorter time period and to deliver an intensive growth experience that will continue long after the camp has ended. Your child should come away from camp with a better understanding of themself, of nature, and how they can become the person that they want to be.
English Day Camps
Designed for younger, elementary-aged students, we also hold day camps on our farm in Dashe District in Taiwan. The goal of these camps is to teach gratitude, respect, and self-discipline, three values that will help them to be happy and successful as they grow.
We participate in activities themed on animal husbandry, organic farming, and land management in order to bring a better understanding of where their food comes from and the responsibility involved in producing it.
