The Concept of This Program

In collaboration with Yatsugatake Agricultural College, this is an agricultural and dairy farming experience camp where children can experience farm stays and share food, clothing, and shelter with their peers. Utilizing the college's vast land, there are many play and learning activities, creating opportunities for children to make their own decisions and develop their thinking skills.

Key Features

農業大学校との共催プログラム

年間約1万人の小中学生の体験を受け入れている八ヶ岳農業大学校の洗練された体験プログラムを週末に体験できます。本物の体験から学ぶからこそ、感じ方も記憶への残り方も変わります。

地元の子どもたちとの交流

今回のプログラムは、地元原村の子どもたちにも声をかけ、一緒に共同生活をしながらアクティビティを楽しみます。同じ年代でも住んでいる場所が異なることで感じ方や発想に多様性が生まれ、その"違い"を感じることが子どもたちの協調性を育みます。

Dairy Farming Experience + Butter/Cheese/Jam Making

At the farm of Yatsugatake Agricultural College, participants can enjoy hands-on experiences such as dairy farming, making butter and cheese from freshly collected milk, and creating jam from harvested vegetables. This is one of the optional activities to choose from.

BBQ where you do everything yourself, from preparation to cleanup

From preparing the fire and ingredients to cleaning up, this BBQ is a collaborative experience where participants work together and communicate with one another. After engaging in farming and dairy activities, enjoying locally sourced vegetables and meat helps deepen their appreciation for food and where it comes from.

Leadership Award

This award is for people who are considerate of others in their community life and work to improve programs. Leadership takes many forms. Find your own leadership style!

Dairy farming experience where you can learn about animal welfare

Participants will learn about animal welfare—an approach that values the well-being of animals such as cows and chickens, whose lives are often shortened for human use. The program explores how these animals can be raised in ways that support both their physical health and emotional well-being while they are alive.
