Awesome activities, educational English adventures in nature and personal growth are what our Summer Camps are about! Led by highly-trained and bilingual staff, there are many exciting experiences to be had and memories to be made at English Explorers, all in the beautiful surrounds of Myoko!
Adventure & Culture Camp
(Session 1 – Session 4)
If your child is already fluent in English, or a native speaker, consider our Adventure & Culture Camp. It’s a fantastic five-day experience (Sunday–Thursday) where they’ll build confidence and teamwork while diving into Japanese history—no heavy language instruction needed.
Outdoor English Immersion Camp
(Session 5 – Session 10)
For children aiming to enhance their English skills or cultivate other valuable abilities, our Outdoor English Immersion Camp offers a dynamic mix of learning and adventure. Each morning begins with a focused one-hour lesson tailored to individual English proficiency, or a workshop dedicated to developing leadership, creativity, or outdoor skills. Following the lesson, participants engage in a morning activity block, applying their learning in practical ways. The afternoon features another activity block, offering further opportunities for immersive outdoor challenges and skill development.
