Self-introduction

Nice to meet you! I'm Ibuki Hosonuma, and I'm the leader of Camp Ship! I'm a sophomore at Tsuda University.

My camp name is Mayuyu!

About Me ✊🏻

I mainly study international relations, and my majors are English and French. In my sophomore year of college, I studied abroad in the UK. There, I had the opportunity to interact with children and realized the significant difference in early childhood nature experiences between Japan and overseas.

Camp Ship allows children to experience nature firsthand in a way they can't in their daily lives through its programs, so I believe it can bridge this gap. During the summer Yatsugatake program in 2023, which was my first time participating in Camp Ship, I not only witnessed children learning but also felt that I learned a lot myself. I had a very valuable experience, so I decided to continue volunteering. As a leader, I will do my best to ensure that children experience nature and intergenerational interaction that they wouldn't normally encounter, and that they feel their own significant growth through communal living! ✊🏻☺️

Things I Like 💖

• Running 🏃‍♀️ → I was on the track and field team in school, specializing in long-distance running. So, I still love running and exercising!
• Music 🎧 → I've loved rock music since I was young, influenced by my father! My favorite band is "ONE OK ROCK"! I go to their world tours every year. Recently, I've also been attending outdoor festivals featuring many bands and artists.
• Tomatoes 🍅 → My favorite food is tomatoes! Conversely, I dislike cucumbers... 🥒

Motto 🌟

My motto is "to be a charming person with many drawers (skills/experiences)"!

This is something my high school homeroom teacher, who was my mentor, used to say all the time. Whenever I'm unsure whether to take on a challenge, I always remember these words and encourage myself by saying, "This challenge will also become one of my drawers someday!"

I want to create many drawers through the encounters and experiences I have at Camp Ship! To be a charming person! 🌟
