Hello, this is Kaburaki from GLI.
Summer 2022GLI will hold its first English camp with overnight stay in Japan.
Concept of GLI Summer Camp 2022 - Why do it?
The Corona Disaster, which began in 2020, has greatly restricted travel within the country as well as abroad. Many people may have felt as if the distance between countries, which had begun to narrow, and the connections between diverse cultures, had been fractured.
Over the past two years, online-based learning opportunities have certainly expanded. But no one can deny the fact that, especially for children, opportunities for live experiences that use the body, connect with peers, and stimulate the body and mind together have shrunk.
That's why, after the last two years,The importance of an experience that fully utilizes all five senses and stirs the heartand we feel it is our mission to provide such a venue.
We chose Tokachi, Hokkaido, as the site for our summer camp.
Come out of the Kanto region and join your friends for an irreplaceable experience in the magnificent nature of Hokkaido.
