Camp Rules


One of the motives of this festival is to make it purely immersion. This means that everyone will be speaking Japanese! Each student will be given yellow cards to hold up when they need to use English. 

Students will be put into groups and will be rotating around each classroom. On top of attending each session, each student group will get a chance to watch the WA Speech & Skit Contest. 

Available Classrooms


祭り:The matsuri class will have three booths where students can try activities such as...
  • Kingyo Sukui/金魚すくい
  • Takoyaki Making/たこ焼き作り
  • Hit the Target/割りばし射的

利き茶:How well do you know your tea? Put your taste buds to the ultimate test in the tea tasting contest! Winner will win a prize!

裏千家:Tanko-kai

クイズ:Put your knowledge to the test in the trivia room! Here, participants will be challenged as a group to answer a variety of questions ranging from...
