Winter break is short, about three weeks, and Lunar New Year sits at the end of it. Most camps squeeze into the two weeks before the holiday, and early-bird deadlines come early.
What that means for camps: nearly every winter camp below runs between Jan 21 and Feb 3, before the Lunar New Year week. International-school calendars differ, and a few programs run in December too.
Book early: many winter camps have early-bird deadlines from late October to December 2026. The Coming up list on our home page shows each one with an Add to calendar link.
