Ski Camp 2012

January 17th to 20thwas the annual TYiS ski camp at Myoko-kogen in Niigata Prefecture. We stayed three nights at the Tokyo YMCA lodge. All attending TYiS students had a great time skiing!

During the day, students were divided into small groups depending on to their skiing ability. The intermediate and advanced skiers took the ski lift and went up the mountain with their teachers. Some of them took a Gondola which goes to the top of the mountain for a more exciting ski experience! The beginners first practiced skiing at the bottom of the slope. Once they learned how to slow down and control their speed, they took the ski lift higher on the mountain! After two full days of skiing, many students became competent skiers!

During our time at ski camp, the upper graders not only learned to better skiers, but were very helpful with the younger students. They experienced the importance of helping others through this camp!

1月17日から20日まで、TYiSでは新潟県にある妙高高原までスキーキャンプに行ってきました。3泊とも東京YMCA妙高高原ロッジに泊まり、みんなでスキーを楽しみました。

日中は、スキーのレベルに合わせて小グループに分かれ、上級者は初日から先生とリフトに乗り、頂上へと向かいました。初心者は麓でスキーの練習をし、自分たちでスピードをコントロール出来るようになってから、初めてリフトに乗ってスキーに挑戦。この二日間で、見る見るうちにスキーが上達しました！

スキーキャンプではスキーの上達をはかるだけでなく、全学年が4日間共に過ごしたことで、上級生が下級生を手助けしている光景がよく見受けられました。キャンプという集団生活を通して、友だち同士、上級生、下級生同士の助け合いの大切さも学ぶことが出来たようです。
