Registration calendar

The Taiwan camp registration calendar

Based on data verified Oct 16, 2026

Camp registration in Taiwan does not follow one calendar. Each operator opens and closes sign-ups on its own site or in its own app or form, on its own schedule, and in 2026 some sessions filled early. At the NTNU Mandarin Summer Camp the two younger age groups in the first two sessions were full by late February, and all three sessions were fully booked by late May. Outward Bound Taiwan closed summer registration on June 21, 2026, with several groups sold out.

This calendar is built from the 2026 registration windows we confirmed and the 2027 dates operators have already published, checked on October 15, 2026. It starts with this autumn, when winter camps take sign-ups, and runs through next summer. Past windows show the usual timing, but dates change from year to year. For exact upcoming dates, see the Coming up list on our home page, which we update as operators announce.

October

Winter camps open

The National Taiwan Science Education Center opened winter 2027 camp registration on October 14 and 15, 2026. Lighthouse Camps gave 10% off for sign-up and payment before October 14. American Language Village early-bird prices run until October 20, the day the Humanistic Education Foundation opens its winter camps at 9:00. NTNU Little Mandarin Masters and NTUE offer lower Mandarin winter camp prices before October 31.

November

Winter early birds end, summer 2027 begins

The Humanistic Education Foundation's winter early-bird price ends December 6, and Wenzao's elementary winter camp early bird needs payment by December 18. The NTNU Mandarin Summer Camp expects to announce its 2027 dates, ages and registration details in mid-December 2026.

January

Summer Mandarin camps open

In 2026, the NTNU Mandarin Summer Camp opened online registration on January 6 at 10:00 Taiwan time, and the NKNU Mandarin & Sports camp took registrations from January 1. Sky Kids says its summer 2027 schedule will be ready by January.

February

Summer early birds

Several summer 2026 Mandarin camps had early-bird deadlines on February 28: PCCU, Tunghai and NTUE. MTC's Signature Summer Program, for adults 18 to 50, gave 5% off for confirming by then. TAS Summer Academy opened Lower and Middle School registration in late February 2026. For 2027, Camp Taiwan says to check back after Chinese New Year for its early-bird sale.

March

School programs and applications

TAS opened Upper School registration in early March 2026, and MTC's Signature Summer Program for adults 18 to 50 asked for applications by March 15. Taipei's Children's Month weekend activities for city elementary students were booked in rounds from March 10, 2026.

April

Summer catalogs and early birds

For the MTC Signature program (adults 18 to 50), paying tuition before April 2, 2026 waived the NT$3,000 registration fee. China Youth Corps opened summer 2026 sign-ups in April, with 12% off any camp booked by April 30. Imagine Taiwan's early-bird price ran until April 1, and Zhongzheng Sports Center gave 12% off whole sessions booked April 20 to May 17.

May

Some windows close

TAS registration closed in mid-May 2026, about a week earlier for non-TAS students. Taipower's free Ball Sports Fun Camp took online sign-ups only from May 14 to 27, 2026. Weiwuying's youth drama camp opened registration May 4 and TPAC's teen musical camp on May 11.

June

Last calls

Many summer 2026 windows ended in June: Outward Bound on June 21, NTHU's soccer camp on June 20, and Weiwuying and NCU's sports classes on June 30. At NSYSU, the marine camp filled and sign-ups after 10:30 on June 15 went on a waitlist. Some camps still took sign-ups in June, but others had already closed or filled.

July to September

Summer runs, winter appears

Camps run through July and August, and we have no confirmed registration openings in those two months. Best Science opened winter 2027 registration on September 23, 2026, and Mandarin Daily News announced winter enrollment on September 29.

The plan is simple: choose camps a season ahead, note when each one opened last time, and check its page a few weeks before that. Exact upcoming dates are on the Coming up list.
