At English Adventure, Fun Opens The Doorway to Discovery
English Adventure is all about bringing the fun, excitement, and friendships of a classic American-style summer camp to kids in Japan. On top of that, everything we do is built to increase your child’s motivation and ability to communicate in English.
Our days are full of healthy play. Exploration. Engaging challenges. And connection with friends and caring staff. A well-rounded mix of activities means that kids of all kinds will find activities they love – and maybe a few that stretch their perspectives or comfort zones.

Activities
‖ Daytime Activities
Our camp is full of exciting activities that encourage campers to use both their bodies and their minds.
EA Games
Each afternoon begins with EA Games, where campers join mixed-age groups led by our junior high school senior campers. Together, they enjoy camp games, creative art activities, and exciting team competitions, building friendships and leadership skills along the way.
New in Summer 2026! EA Games
Inspired by the classic “color wars” at American summer camps, the EA Games bring this beloved tradition to Japan. Campers are divided into teams for athletic, artistic, and creative challenges throughout the session, all while building teamwork, cooperation, and friendships across ages and abilities. The emphasis is on fun, inclusivity, and good sportsmanship, ending with the whole camp reunited and lasting memories made. 2026 marks the start of an exciting new tradition at English Adventure, and your child is invited to be part of it!
Swimming
Kids of all ages love swimming and cooling off in our beautiful lake. (Safety first! Lifejackets always on, lifeguards always on duty.)
Kayak (For Grades 3 -9)
Elsewhere on the lake, older campers will be learning to paddle kayaks – including some fun games and competitions, and or just free paddling with friends, taking in nature from the calm surface of the water.
Low Elements
Amid a stand of soaring cedars, campers tackle the challenges of our low elements course. It takes more than physical coordination – teamwork, communication, and creative thinking are a must!
Craft
Over at the Craft House, campers get creative with the help of our arts and crafts activity leaders. Campers love taking some relaxed time here, with lots of conversation with friends and staff.
Nature Education Program
At the lakeside, or in the forest, our nature education specialist shares insights and new ways of understanding the rich living environment around us. This can include engaging games that include lessons about the natural world, and hands-on exploration and discovery of the natural world.
‖ Nighttime Activities
Evenings bring their own magical programming.
Team Fire
We get to know our teammates during intimate small-group campfires, with plenty of marshmallows to roast.
Dance Party
Our famous dance party is one of the greatest hits for many campers each summer!
Camp Fire
We also bring the camp together for a big bonfire. Staff and senior campers facilitate a special mix of camp songs, skits, laughter, and reflection. It’s one of the classic traditions that makes the residential camp experience truly one of a kind.
Overnight Camping (For Grades 7-9)
One night of camp is spent sleeping in tents right on the campsite grounds. Spending the evening under the stars with new friends is often one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences of camp.
Other evening activity possibilities include star gazing, night-time nature walks, talent shows and group performances, and more. At our exclusive private campsite, we have the freedom to select the right programming for the weather conditions and needs of the campers – and to keep it fresh for the many kids who return each summer.
Designed Around English and Adventure
As you can see, we deliver on the “adventure” in English Adventure! At the same time we know that many families choose us for the English aspect of our camps. The great thing is that every one of our awesome activities is specifically designed to motivate and provide opportunities for English communication.
For the native or high-level English speakers in our Immersion sessions, it’s as simple as having a blast in a round-the-clock 100% English environment, day after day. Real American summer camp is in reach – right here in Japan.
For the English learners in our Challenge and Challenge Plus sessions, using English equals having fun – always with the right balance of challenge and accomplishment to keep them engaged and reaching for more.
For every camper, we put “English” and “Adventure” together in a way that promises an amazing summer and memories that will last a lifetime. Fun comes first – and is the gateway to a world of learning, growth, and personal development.
