8. Do you have any specific requirements for students? For example, need to be able to swim or ride a bike?
Generally, all students need to be able to communicate well enough in English as a primary requirement. Instructors also confirm with the parents or chaperons to see what the kids cannot and can do, we try to accommodate everyone. That being said, the spirit of Green Camp is to create well rounded, powerful, skilled individuals.

Yes, we have many kids coming from different part of the world to join in our camp.
