The Concept of This Program

This is a seven-day long camp based in the naturally rich village of Hara in the Yatsugatake Mountains, where children share food, clothing, and shelter with their friends and build their own with their own hands. Participants can choose the activities that interest them from a wide range of content, including agricultural, dairy, and forestry experiences in collaboration with Yatsugatake Agricultural College, reforestation, water activities on the lake, playing in the river, and outdoor cooking. The greatest feature of this camp is that the children live independently and communally, rather than following a set schedule.
