We’ll also learn Japan’s martial art, judo and go to the park every day for lunch.

Pokemon T-shirts are prepared for each child and they get to stamp the weekly theme onto their shirt, paint it, and get signatures from their new camper friends. A great souvenir filled with great memories.

Before any of the action, we first learn to fall smoothly and safely, one of the greatest advantages of learning judo.

We write our wishes in both Japanese and English on brightly colored paper and use them to decorate our bamboo tree along with origami ornaments.

As young people write their stories and assert their voice, they discover who they are and who they want to become. We use the Amherst Writing Method, a methodology rooted in the belief that everyone is a writer, all feedback is focused on the strengths of the writer, and our unique writing voice will grow stronger, the more it is expressed and encouraged.
