PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE
Our guides do more than ensure safety and lead adventures; they also offer valuable opportunities for growth, helping children and young adults develop life skills that will benefit them in the future. Let our professional guides encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, offering a fresh perspective away from home and parents to learn how to embrace challenges.
Principles Learned Through Camp Experience
At Iwanai, nature is our classroom. We focus on teaching principles that build character through activities like kayaking on the Sea of Japan, mountain biking across rolling pastures, hiking alpine trails, and giving back to the community. The challenges of the wilderness will push you to explore your limits and gain new confidence for everyday life.
CONFIDENCE
We all have dreams we want to achieve, but often our biggest obstacle is ourselves. Confidence is a skill to be developed so that when faced with adversity or challenges, you have the strength to overcome them. Our activities are designed to help you achieve the impossible by fostering self-belief.
SELF RELIANCE
Self-reliance is the ability to depend on oneself for guidance, decision-making, and problem-solving. It’s a crucial life skill because it fosters independence and resilience, enabling individuals to navigate challenges with confidence and resourcefulness. By developing self-reliance, people learn to trust their judgment, take initiative, and handle adversity without excessive reliance on others.
ANTICIPATION
Once a level of awareness is achieved, one can start to see what others might need or anticipate circumstances arising from one’s environment. The ability to anticipate needs, opportunities or danger is an essential skill for survival and growth.
