Grow through Experience.

A nature experience program that fosters children's independence away from their parents.
For preschoolers, elementary school students, and junior high school students.
Our Passion

An experience unique to "this" time of life

セクション画像

Although the river, mountain, and sea stay the same, what you notice and feel changes dramatically with the seasons and with age.
Why not give children experiences they can only have now — from ages 4 to 15, when curiosity and the drive to explore develop most?

Customer Reviews

I'm happy to see the confident look on their face when they return.

I'm happy to see the confident look on their face when they return.

Children experience living in nature, cooking for themselves, and camping, activities they can't learn in their daily lives, and when they return, their faces are full of confident satisfaction. Parents can feel at ease sending their children away from home, making it a valuable time for both children and parents!

Going alone helped me build courage and social skills.

Going alone helped me build courage and social skills.

The appeal lies in fostering children's independence and teamwork. My child debuted by participating alone due to a friend's absence, but that actually turned out to be a truly valuable experience, building courage and improving social skills. They love Camp Ship and check Instagram almost daily, eagerly anticipating the next session.

A wide range of activities and Instagram updates will put your mind at ease.

A wide range of activities and Instagram updates will put your mind at ease.

All programs offer a wide variety of activities that children can enjoy. I find comfort in the fact that updates on the children's well-being are constantly shared on Instagram, and that there are a sufficient number of leaders for the number of children.

A safe camping experience where staff keep a close eye on everything.

A safe camping experience where staff keep a close eye on everything.

The wide range of activities keeps the children entertained one after another. Furthermore, the ability to view photos and videos in real-time provides peace of mind for parents and is an enjoyable feature to watch. The high staff-to-child ratio is also appealing, ensuring that every child receives proper attention.

He was very happy to receive the leadership award and treasures his badge. The system where leaders write letters, and the reward of a hat for participating multiple times, are also appealing features that children really enjoy.

Warm support enjoyable even for young children

Warm support enjoyable even for young children

Even first-time participants will find opportunities to thrive, tailored to their age. It's recommended because it allows children to connect with nature in an environment different from their daily lives and develop independence while cooperating with friends. The abundance of activities where children can fully enjoy themselves, such as playing in the river, cooking meals, and stargazing at night, is also a great appeal.

Preschool girl

Camping where you can expand your circle of friends

Camping where you can expand your circle of friends

The appeal lies in the unique programs that we, as parents, might find difficult to provide ourselves, and the opportunity for our children to make friends they wouldn't meet anywhere but at Camp Ship. As a parent, it's a joy to see their circle of friends expand.

4th-grade girl

A camp where you can truly feel yourself growing.

A camp where you can truly feel yourself growing.

The appeal is that you can really see your child's growth. I'm grateful that my child was able to experience things like fishing, playing in the river, and starting fires, which they wanted to do but I couldn't easily take them to. They still talk about the fun memories they made with their friends and leaders.

1st-grade boy

Feeling at ease due to the close proximity to our leaders.

Feeling at ease due to the close proximity to our leaders.

The appeal of this program is that I can freely and fully enjoy what I love. I feel secure knowing that the leaders are approachable, and I appreciate being able to constantly check on the situation via Instagram. With a wide range of plans, there are many options, and it's reassuring to know that the prices are affordable. My brother and I enjoy it so much that we play "Camp Ship" at home, taking turns being the leader.

Intergenerational exchange and ski certifications make me happy.

Intergenerational exchange and ski certifications make me happy.

We participate in the skiing activities every year. They provide activities with different age groups and even ski certifications, and my child always comes home with a big smile, saying how much fun it was, which I am very grateful for.

Fosters leadership and initiative

Fosters leadership and initiative

Being able to have experiences that are out of the ordinary, interacting with adults other than parents, and fostering leadership and initiative are major attractions. Parents can also feel at ease sending their children, as the program's activities can be seen on Instagram.

Art program that values free-thinking

Art program that values free-thinking

The art program was particularly appealing. I thought it was wonderful how it respected free thought and allowed children to develop their creativity and self-expression. I would definitely recommend it to others as a valuable opportunity to nurture sensitivity.

2nd-grade girl

The leader interacts with children at their level.

The leader interacts with children at their level.

I appreciate that the leader is young and engages with the children from their perspective. One of the attractive features is the many mechanisms in place to encourage the children's autonomy.

A sense of security that comes from thorough reporting, communication, and consultation.

The thorough reporting, communication, and consultation is a major plus. Not only are the activities enjoyable for children, but as a parent, I can also feel at ease leaving my child there.

An opportunity to experience collaboration with people outside your family

An opportunity to experience collaboration with people outside your family

It's a place where children can learn the importance of cooperating with friends and living independently, away from their families. They can gain experiences that are difficult to have at home, and you can truly see their growth.

Discuss the annually changing program with your child.

Discuss the annually changing program with your child.

It's great that there are various programs each year, allowing us to choose with our children. The fact that they can experiment and learn with their friends, rather than just family, is also appealing, and I feel it fosters their independence.

Mentored camp fostering curiosity and collaborative skills

Mentored camp fostering curiosity and collaborative skills

By thinking and acting through trial and error in nature, driven by a spirit of inquiry and curiosity, children can develop independence and cooperation. The fact that the leaders watch over and support their growth is a major appeal to me.

1st-grade girl

Down-to-earth management and a warm atmosphere

Down-to-earth management and a warm atmosphere

The down-to-earth operators are a major draw. Both children's needs (satisfying curiosity, new encounters, reassuring leaders) and parents' needs (opportunities for experiences difficult for parents to provide, consideration for safety and security, a warm atmosphere) are met. I was surprised by the confident expression on my child's face when they came home.

4th-grade girl

Diverse experiences covering the sea, mountains, rivers, and forests

Diverse experiences covering the sea, mountains, rivers, and forests

Children can experience a variety of activities covering the nature of the sea, mountains, rivers, and forests. In addition to physical activities, there are also crafts, making things, and cooking, so children can easily find something they enjoy. After spending time in an environment without their parents and returning from camp, they often seem to have grown a little.

5th-grade boy

Treats children from their perspective.

Treats children from their perspective.

The staff act from the children's perspective and provide guidance necessary for independence in a fun atmosphere, so we feel at ease leaving our children with them. Our eldest son, who participated for the first time, enjoyed it so much that he strongly requested to "definitely go again!" As parents, we also appreciate being able to easily check on the situation via Instagram.

A place to enjoy, be independent, and then return to

A place to enjoy, be independent, and then return to

The charm of Camp Ship is that children have fun and return home more independent. It's truly a blessing as a parent to see them grow each time.

2nd-grade boy

"People" are the charm of Campship

"People" are the charm of Campship

The "people" are very charming. My daughter adores the leaders as if they were older friends, and when she returns from the program, she enjoys talking about the leaders more than the content itself. The opportunity to interact with people of different ages, genders, and backgrounds is also a major appeal, and I feel that her communication skills are naturally developing.

2nd-grade girl

A ski camp with enriching content

A ski camp with enriching content

The program content is incredibly fulfilling. This was the first time my child had been away from home for 3 nights and 4 days, and they showed great enthusiasm, saying, "I'm tired but it was fun! I want to go again!" I was deeply impressed by how the leaders genuinely engaged with the children while having fun themselves.

1st-grade girl

The leaders provide extensive support.

The leaders provide extensive support.

The support system provided by the leaders is a great asset. The interaction with friends of the same age and the involvement with the leaders, experiences that cannot be had at home or during travels, serve as a stimulus for children and an opportunity for growth.

4th-grade girl

A wide range of programs, from short-term to long-term

A wide range of programs, from short-term to long-term

There are a variety of programs available, ranging from short-term to long-term options. It's packed with things children want to try! I believe it's very valuable for them to experience things that are difficult to do as a family unit and to spend time with new friends.

4th-grade girl

He came back from camp looking confident.

He came back from camp looking confident.

Although the children look a little anxious when they depart, every time they return with confident expressions, I realize how fulfilling their time at camp must have been and how much fun they had with their friends. Each group has one leader who responsibly looks after them, making the team a reliable one that can respond flexibly and promptly to unexpected situations.

5th-grade boy

High school and university student staff become role models

High school and university student staff become role models

High school and university students, who usually don't have many opportunities to interact with the children, participate as staff, becoming role models and sources of inspiration for them. This is a wonderful organization that provides various experiential opportunities for children who have fewer chances to travel due to family circumstances such as caring for a family member.

7th-grade girl

My dependent daughter became independent and confident.

My dependent daughter became independent and confident.

My daughter is the youngest and was quite dependent, but I feel that each time she participates in this camp, she gradually develops a sense of independence and gains confidence. She met new friends and had a valuable experience that led to her growth.

4th-grade girl

Flexibility to readily accept children's requests

Flexibility to readily accept children's requests

There are many program activities that can only be experienced at that particular time and place, and they are designed to pique children's interest. I felt a connection with the founder, who is a father himself, and I decided to participate because I felt that my child would genuinely enjoy it rather than just reluctantly attend.

4th-grade boy

A warmth that readily accepts children from their preschool years.

A warmth that readily accepts children from their preschool years.

Its appeal lies in the ability to have experiences that are difficult to come by in everyday life in the city. It's reassuring that children as young as preschoolers can participate, and that we can see updates on Instagram stories. My child returned completely different from when they left, much more resilient and speaking with newfound confidence, which as a parent made me re-appreciate the value of this program.

Preschool boy

A wide range of programs for brothers and sisters to enjoy together.

A wide range of programs for brothers and sisters to enjoy together.

Seeing my younger sister participate after being invited by her friends, my older brother also wanted to join! There are so many different programs, and children can challenge themselves with both what they are good at and what they struggle with, building confidence along the way. My children always come home adoring their leaders.

5th-grade boy

I can trust them with the task.

I can trust them with the task.

My eldest daughter, who was in first grade and incredibly anxious, came home with a smile and said, "It was so much fun! I want to go again!" Since then, we've been coming back every season. It's a wonderful program where you can feel the passion, dedication, and love of the representatives.

2nd-grade girl

Moved by the leader's passion at the moment of disbandment

Moved by the leader's passion at the moment of disbandment

I was deeply impressed by the fact that we could decide on our daily activities voluntarily, and by the previous leader shedding tears at the dissolution. I believe this is proof of their deep involvement with the children. The communication was frequent, the quality of the leaders was high, and the photos were fair; I have no complaints.

Fifth-grade girl

A perfect balance of playfulness and independence

A perfect balance of playfulness and independence

It's wonderful how all programs operate with clear goals. The leaders are charming in how they immerse themselves in play with the children while also firmly fostering independence. With a variety of programs available, I always look forward to what's next.
