＜委員長あいさつ＞

山中湖センターは、富士山をのぞむ山中湖畔に位置し、1923年の開設以来100年の間、障がい児を含む子どもたちやご家族、林間学校など多くの方々にボートやカヌー、バーベキューやキャンプファイヤーなど自然に囲まれたキャンプ生活を楽しんでいただいてきました。

今回100周年を迎えるにあたり、次の100年を見据えた将来への投資として、クライミングウォールなどの各種プログラム施設の新設や、ご家族や小グループの方でも利用しやすいよう宿泊室などのリノベーションを実施いたします。また、経済的な理由などで、これまでキャンプに参加できなかった子どもたち100人を無料でキャンプに招待しようと計画しており、つきましては、これらの資金の一部に充てるため、広くみなさま方からご支援を頂きたく募金への協力をお願い申し上げます。

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all those who have supported Yamanakako Center over the years, and to continue to work together with everyone to maintain and develop this campground for the future, we will be holding a "Yamanakako Center 100th Anniversary Fundraiser". Your understanding and support would be greatly appreciated.

<Greetings from the Chairperson>

For 100 years since its opening in 1923, Lake Yamanaka Center, located on the shores of Lake Yamanaka with a view of Mt. Fuji, has been offering boating, canoeing, barbecues and campfires to children, including those with disabilities, families and forest schools.
In celebration of its 100th anniversary, the camp is investing in its future with a view to the next 100 years by building a climbing wall and other various program facilities, and renovating accommodation rooms and other facilities to make them easier for families and small groups to use. In addition, we are planning to invite 100 children who have been unable to attend the camp for financial reasons to the camp for free.
