An International Summer Camp in Japan that Celebrates Your Child's Creativity!
Are you looking for a summer camp that will allow your child to be creative? Is your child always searching for the limelight? Does your child revel in the chance to arm herself with a paintbrush and an easel? Does your child study the latest dances and choreographs her own routines?
A visual and performing arts camp would be perfect for your child. The program is called Camp Roadless Summer, it is a residential summer camp that celebrates the arts. Your child will head to Mount Haruna in Gunma Prefecture where campers can take playwriting, poetry, art, dance and reader's theater classes.
We believe that every camper, no matter what the level, will be a star! Joining a camp that is dedicated to the arts gives your child the benefits of being with other like-minded children who enjoy creating art and performing.
But it's not all singing and dancing, your child will be able to explore the forest, go on a river trek, and have a great time roasting marshmallows, eating banana boats and making new friends.
The goal of Camp Roadless Summer's visual and performing arts camp is to provide a chance for campers to explore the arts in an English speaking environment. Campers will communicate with children from different backgrounds and cultures. Camp counselors are chosen based on their specialty. In the past we have hired dancers who have experience working in Los Angeles and in international schools in Tokyo. We also were fortunate to have trained studio artists teach children about fairy tales in Japan through nature.
Campers will be motivated by our professional staff of artists. All members of the Camp Roadless team are trained in their respective fields. We hire artists who love the arts and are comfortable with teaching young children.
The last day of camp will give campers an opportunity to perform for the group. Campers will be a star in front of their peers. They will display their artwork, dance, sing, act, and recite their poems. Our last day doesn’t mean good-bye, it means see you soon!
We hope to see you at Camp Roadless Summer!

Camp Sessions
The international performing arts summer camp offers creative theme-based programming sure to keep your child engaged. Summer Camp begins July 23rd and runs until August 17th. If you are a working parent this is a great opportunity to provide your child with a 5-day a week summer program in a safe and secure location.
Some children will be going to a residential camp for the first time. Others will be familiar and comfortable staying overnight. In order to bring the groups together we will have a day full of team building activities. During the rest of camp children will be divided into small groups and they will write their own plays, practice reading for dramatic effect during reader's theater. They will create their own arts using nature as a muse. They will get plenty of exercise during their dance class.
