Outdoor Education/Camp

Since 1923 Tokyo YMCA has provided many children with valuable experiences through camping programs for more than 90 years. We believe that camping has the power to bring well-balanced growth in "spirit, knowledge, body, and social skills."

Seasonal Camp (summer, winter, and spring break) Outdoor group activities (monthly one-day camp)

Healthy Living Education (Sports, Wellness)

In 1917 Tokyo YMCA built the first gymnasium equipped with an indoor pool in Japan and introduced modern swimming techniques, such as the front crawl, to Japan. In addition, we brought basketball and volleyball, both of which were created by the YMCA in North America, to Japan and popularized them in efforts to help many citizens enjoy wellness activities. As we also started programs designed for the disabled and infants earlier than other organizations, the YMCA has worked for the total health for the entire population of every generation.
