April - July program reports

By Kozue Oka | Executive Director

We had event full of couple of months with lots of campers, LITs and corporate volunteers: Easter, capture the flag, Kikori, hiking, diary farm and more!

In May was the first time in a long time that multiple care homes joined together. We are excited to welcome again at Summer Camp in August!

“I enjoyed having a splash battle with so many adults and I got them all wet in the river!” by camper
“It was impressive to see so many campers and volunteers participating and spending their free time on the riverbanks in their own ways. I want to try and join all the games next time.” by LIT
“I was very happy to be able to talk with care workers from other care homes for the first time in a while at Mirai no Mori programs. It was very inspirational to see how the children from other care homes were doing and how they differed from the children at my care home.” by care worker
“I was very happy to see how the campers, who were nervous at first, started smiling as they hiked and played in the river together with us!” by a volunteer
