Another China Camp in the books...now what?

I had a great time volunteering for the 3rd year in a row, at Dillion International China Camp, teaching Chinese Brush painting.  However, there is only so much material we can cover in a short 40 minute class.  If you are interested in having me teach a more in depth class please contact me at kjneumaier@msn.com.  If you are local, (Tulsa area) I can do a six week class that meets once a week for 2 hours at a time.  If you are a reasonable driving distance away (less that 4 hours and you can find someone to put me up for a week) I can do a week long camp that meets 3-5 days in a row for two hours at a time.  The perfect class size is 6-8 students.  I have an option where I supply materials for the class (limit is 8) or an option where each student purchases his or her own supplies.  In either case, I would need assistance in finding a space to hold the classes.

I will be volunteering at Dillion International China Heritage Camp again this Summer.  The dates are July 6-8, 2017.  This is a 3 day camp for children who have been adopted from China.  At this camp they learn about Chinese language and culture.  For more information about the camp, follow this link:  https://www.dillonadopt.com/china-camp/

Still time to sign up for July class.
