English Camp


Last weekend I volunteered as a leader for an English camp. It was located in Saga Prefecture, and was nestled in the mountains. I felt right at home! My group was a mix of boys ranging from 3rd grade to 6th grade. Needless to say, this was a huge difference from my high school kids (most of whom are girls). It was so much fun to work with a different group dynamic though! We made t-shirts, watched Ratatouille with popcorn and hot chocolate, grilled hot dogs, set up a mini shopping mall, and sang songs and played games by the campfire. Oh the good old days of camp!

We had free time during the night, and the boy campers' room was right next to the leaders' room. They were climbing in the little window doors at all hours of the night. And they loved to play UNO with us!

Japanese kids are pretty much the cutest kids on earth.
