Mission
At Belmont, students refine their speaking, listening, and writing skills, and grow in character. They learn to communicate precisely and persuasively, as they become men and women of discipline and influence.
The experiences at Chinese Camp at Belmont have been carefully chosen for middle and high school age students, as they prepare for college and become leaders and doers in an increasingly connected world.
