Exercise your limbs and your mind too. To embrace the summer sports season, hotel operators have launched parent-child taekwondo camps and aqua aerobics programs, while resort hotels have created creative block play zones for family fun—getting both the body and brain moving after physical activity.

This year, both the international brand Regent and the in-house brand Silks (both under the Regent Group) have designed various parent-child summer camp activities. This year, Regent is focusing on promoting new family values, planning exclusive summer accommodation packages and courses for local families, aiming to encourage parent-child trips, multi-generational fun, and creating lasting holiday memories together.

Among them, in response to the London Olympics in mid-July, Taipei Regent has introduced Olympic-themed parent-child taekwondo and aqua aerobics classes. By booking the hotel’s “2012 Summer Promotion Stay Package,” each person (age 7 and above) can join both programs for just NT$200. The sessions start from July 14, and classes begin daily as long as there are at least four reservations. For non-guests, the fee is NT$1,000 per person, making it a premium summer camp experience.

Meanwhile, at Taroko Silks Hotel, a parent-child “Creative Playground” has also been launched starting in July. Customers who book the summer package can get free access to the hotel’s daily activities for their children, and this year the hotel has specially invited block-building expert Chao Kuo-chuan to showcase his works and lead workshops.

Taroko Silks states that Chao Kuo-chuan has years of experience representing Taiwan in the World Robot Olympiad. After winning the national championship in the First Tech Challenge this year, he represented Taiwan at the global finals at the St. Louis Science Center in April. He is a well-known figure in the block-building community.

This summer, Taroko Silks has invited Chao Kuo-chuan to teach two block robotics courses, promising that participants can learn robot programming and operation within two hours. With only five groups allowed per session, the courses have already attracted many parent-child groups inquiring about registration.
