Sunny Times at 2025 Canadian Camping Event
The 2025 TJCS Camping Trip was held on September 13 & 14 at the seaside Oyodo Fureai Campground in Meiwa, Mie Prefecture. A total of 33 participants joined the overnight event, including 23 adults and 10 children, with friends coming not only from Japan and Canada, but also from the U.S., Italy, Myanmar, and New Zealand.
Throughout the weekend, everyone enjoyed a wide variety of activities:
Children had fun collecting seashells and doing a scavenger hunt, where they even showed kindness by sharing their prizes with one another. In the evening, the group gathered for a cozy campfire, roasting marshmallows, and making their very first s'mores.
Although heavy rain fell until just before the camp began, the skies cleared to reveal a beautiful starry night. Participants also enjoyed a fireworks display on the beach, and thanks to the refreshing air after the rain, it truly felt like an early autumn evening.
Some woke up early the next morning to welcome the sunrise while swimming in the sea, while others stayed up late into the night enjoying heartfelt conversations...and perhaps a few libations.
It was a peaceful and memorable weekend, filled with laughter, warmth, and international friendship.
The TJCS Camp is open to everyone - members and non-members alike. We warmly invite you to join us next year to enjoy nature and cultural exchange together!
