Pursuit Inc. (Head office: Taito-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Baku Nakamichi), a company involved in regional development through the use of the outdoors, will hold "Kids Summer Camp 2024 supported by Coleman" in the nature-rich village of Otari, Nagano Prefecture, to support children's growth through nature experiences.

Kids Summer Camp

Event details: https://www.npcp.jp/event/entry/npcp-2024/

Children will experience nature through their five senses and learn the importance of nature in an extraordinary experience.

Foster children's "zest for life

Children experience nature through their five senses and learn the importance of nature through activities and experiences that they cannot experience in their daily lives. This experience provides an opportunity to nurture the "zest for life" needed by the children who will be responsible for the future.

Camping and other nature experiences awaken children's "zest for life" and help them develop their independence, social skills, imagination, and determination.

In addition, the outdoor manufacturer Coleman is participating this year as a special cooperator. The camp will create opportunities for children to develop an interest in "nature" through play and experience.

Children can try their hand at canoeing while bathing in negative ions in a fantastic pond filled with melting snow from the Northern Alps. Children can also try their hand at catching fish, which they will then process themselves!

(4) Natural Environment Study

Natural Environment Learning

Instead of classroom learning, we create opportunities for children to experience the richness of nature and the importance of nature through experience and play.

The trail is lined with large trees over 100 years old and vegetation such as beech forests.

Creatures such as char and salamanders that inhabit the Oumi River, through which melted snow flows.

Comments from parents (2023)

The children seemed to have a lot of fun and were happy to talk about it when they got home! They talked a lot about finding salamanders at the river, the light truck on the last day, and the friends they spent time with!

They were very happy that they were able to experience doing things on their own without their parents, and that they were able to experience nature in a way that is not easy to do!

Thank you very much for everything you did for us. Thank you very much for all your help. They seemed to have had a lot of fun and were talking about wanting to participate again as soon as they got home. I am very happy that he made new friends.

He came home very satisfied. Thank you very much for taking good care of us, including the report. I would like to participate again if I have the chance.
