Residential summer camps in China for a 15-year-old teen?

Has anyone’s teen been on a residential summer camp in china?
DD wants to go on one next summer, probably for 2 weeks.

Any recommendations of camps that your teens have enjoyed or ones to avoid? She wants to learn a bit of mandarin and experience some cultural actives/ visit sites. She would be travelling alone but using the airport unaccompanied minor service( she’ll be 15yrs old).

I used to live in Beijing and two local outfits you could try are Imagine and That’s Mandarin. Imagine is English language adventure / sports and That’s Mandarin is for language but has cultural activities. Not sure if / what they’re running at the moment.

I’ve narrowed it down to That’s mandarin and RiCH. Those two seem to have a good mix of language and cultural activities/ sightseeing. Reviews I’ve found so far have been mostly positive, still some more research to do though.
