English Summer Camp 2025
Lifelong memories made here
What do you get when you combine the best international staff, massive amounts of living English, awesome activities, and the breathtaking natural setting of our private mountain campsite? An absolutely unforgettable summer for your child! Only at English Adventure Summer Camp!
We live and play together in English, with ability-specific programs for children from absolute beginner to native level. English isn’t a school subject here – it’s a tool for connecting, creating, and having fun!
Our residential summer camps nourish both independence and interdependence – a sense of self along with care for others. Children build their self-confidence and social skills in a supportive values-driven environment.
Healthy outdoor play, nature education, crafts, and much more – there’s something to captivate and challenge every child. Camp is a screen-free environment, filled instead with thoughtfully designed activities that kids love, led by well trained staff from around the world.
Our private campsite is a former ski resort in the mountains of Niigata, Japan. It’s one huge reason that English Adventure camps are so special. Cool forests, wide open fields, a private lake, indoor activity spaces, comfortable lodging and dining facilities – it’s got it all. An easy journey from Tokyo, it’s a world away from city life.

New in Summer 2025!
Glamping site debut!
As soon as the snow melts, we’ll begin construction of a new glamping site. It’s the first stage of a multi-year expansion plan thanks to the growing demand for English Adventure camps. In 2025, all Upper Campers (grade 5-6) will be the first occupants of this fun new addition.
Camp sessions are now completely separated by English level!
If you’re a returning camp family, you know that historically we’ve offered all English programs (Challenge, Challenge Plus, and Immersion) in each of our 8 summer sessions. This summer, we’re making the bold move of offering 4 Immersion only sessions, and 4 Challenge / Challenge Plus sessions. This means that site-wide, there will be NO Japanese spoken anywhere during Immersion sessions. At the same time, this will also allow us to focus more resources on the English Challenge and English Challenge Plus programs when in session, which assures more English production and consistent English exposure throughout the day.
Check the calendar to find the session just right for your child.
