Kids’ Summer Camps in Japan
Imagine Summer Camp (Hokkaido)
Dates: Weekly between June 19-Aug. 28
Ages: 7-14
Kids get a taste of a wide range of activities on land and water around Niseko at this weekly camp. Daily transport takes kids from the standard pick-up spot in Niseko Higashiyama, with the option to add pick-up points such as in Kutchan or Sapporo. The first three days are day trips and the last two are an overnight camping excursion. The destinations range from the rivers of Kyogoku to the forests of Kimobetsu and from an ostrich farm in Niseko to Lake Toya. In one of Imagine’s signature activities, teams are challenged to build their own “civilizations” in a forest using tools, limited resources and natural materials. They also learn survival skills, cook on their own campfire and build bamboo rafts. Other highlights include cycling, snorkeling, SUP, river rafting, water fights and classic outdoor team games.
