TUJ Summer Camp
On the weekend of June 20th, around 20 Japan-Admit and 20 Academic English Program students teamed up to have TUJ’s first Culture Exchange Program Summer Camp.
The students took a short bus ride to Doshi Mura in Yamanashi. During the two day event, everyone learned and experienced popular Japanese recreational games and team-building activities. We made mochi, had a great BBQ, enjoyed a bonfire, roasted marshmallows, and set off fireworks. Please enjoy all the pictures (under the cut)!
