The Concept of This Program

This is a summer camp for preschoolers and early elementary school children, offering unique experiences like vegetable harvesting and chicken farming on the Yatsugatake plateau, which is over 1,200m above sea level.

Due to numerous inquiries from customers, we have added a 2-day, 1-night camp for early elementary school children to our original schedule.

To ensure that even children who are attending camp away from their parents for the first time this summer can participate with peace of mind, we will have extra staff on hand and proceed with a relaxed schedule, prioritizing safety and health above all else.

Beyond structured activities, we also set aside time to ignite children's curiosity with activities such as bonfires, insect catching, and observing plants and animals, aiming to draw out their "I want to do that!" spirit.

In collaboration with the Yatsugatake Agricultural College, the program allows children to fully enjoy authentic nature experiences in the great outdoors.

Key Features

Even first-time sleepovers are stress-free. Empowering children to say, "I did it!"

We provide a variety of thoughtful support measures to ensure that first-time participants feel safe and confident. We design engaging activities that outweigh any anxiety about being away from home, maintain a strong focus on safety through well-trained staff, and place great importance on recognizing and praising each child’s efforts and challenges.

Two days packed with extraordinary experiences

This two-day camp is packed with experiences you don't usually get, such as athletic activities, campfires, roasted marshmallows, and water gun fights, making it perfect for anyone who wants to have a summer-like experience or wants their children to have one. In addition to planned activities, we'll also incorporate games that spark children's curiosity, like searching for insects, observing plants, and gathering around a fire.

Program design that respects and allows children to choose what they "want to do"

Everyone enjoys nature in their own way. Many children who join our camps lead busy, time-structured lives in their daily routines. At Campship Academy, we go beyond simply following a fixed schedule—we value giving children the freedom to step away from time constraints and dive deeper into their interests, whether it’s plants, insects, fire, the sky, or food, nurturing their curiosity through exploration.

Interact with cows and chickens on a farm

This workshop offers hands-on experiences such as interacting with animals, observing their behavior, and touring dairy barns and chicken coops, providing insight into how everyday foods like milk and eggs are produced on farms. Participants also use freshly harvested milk and eggs from the farm to prepare their own meals, completing the full farm-to-table experience.
