Classic Camp Experience
What comes to mind when you think "summer camp?" Chances are, it's outdoor fun — hiking, canoeing, and campfires! If you have a young adventurer in your home, or a child who just needs an outlet for all that energy, check out the below options for that classic camp experience.
July 24-28
Five days and four nights of all the traditional camp fare, as well as firefly tours and stand-up paddleboarding!
Various Dates
Depending on your child's English comfort-level — from beginner to fluent — there are tons of options to choose from at this camp-plus-language-tutoring opportunity!
Discover Japan Nanbo Summer Camp
Sessions beginning July 2 through August 13
This camp, a few hours south of Tokyo, is the ideal destination for children interested in marine life — tide pool exploration and shell collection are on the docket!
Evergreen Outdoor Center Summer Camps
Various Dates
The Evergreen summer camps truly have options for all types of campers — from mountaineers to those who prefer a day-camp experience.
July 17-August 19
This day camp is perfect for younger children (as young as 14 months!) who need enriching diversions but aren't quite ready to sleepaway.
Tech-Focused
Not every child is into the outdoors — and that's fine! There are tech-focused camps that are sure to be a hit with the coder in your household.
July 17-21 & August 14-18
This camp offers coding lessons (of course!) but also teaches campers about digital animation, robotics, and Minecraft.
June - September
This is a wonderful opportunity for coders of all ages — classes begin at five years old, and are offered all the way up to 18!
Ongoing weekends
While not technically a camp — classes are offered all year-round — Dream Seeds offers an array of cool technology to learn about and serves as an outlet for stir-crazy kids.
An Academic Boost
Summer is definitely a time for having fun, but that doesn't mean your children can't also learn something new! These camps offer a combination of traditional camp activities and opportunities to boost academics.
Hakuba International School Summer Program
Several sessions beginning June 26
This is a wonderful opportunity for children interested in the environment and sustainability; campers partake in outdoor, project-based learning.
Tokyo International Summer School
Several sessions beginning June 19
TIS offers the gamut of educational opportunities in its summer school program, from math and science to visual and performing arts.
Laurus International STEAM Summer School
Details to come
Given Laurus' primary focus on science, campers can expect fun and engaging related activities and lessons during the summer program.
Strengthen Sports Skills
Most summer camps offer opportunities for free play, including a pick-up match or two. These camps, however, focus completely on strengthening (or teaching) sports skills, so they're a great option for the football superstar in your home.
Several sessions beginning June 26
This is an overnight option in Shimoda — so it could also double as a nice family vacation!
Ongoing
BFA isn't technically a camp — footballers can play all year round — but the array of classes make it a perfect option to look into for children who need regular game time.
