Our camp is a high caliber program: our counselors are carefully vetted and rigorously trained and have workshops optimized for passing on the Japanese American tradition.

Most newcomers are curious about the workshops and activities that we host at camp.
Our virtual Summer Camp will adapt familiar themes from our in-person Summer Camp programming to ensure that our campers learn about Japanese American values, culture, and traditions such as the ones listed below.
We encourage campers to show gratitude to our amazing counselor team and everyone who makes camp happen! We also encourage them to think about the older generations who persevered through hard times and made it possible for Kizuna to exist and keep camp going!
Students learn about the incarceration camps that Japanese Americans were put into during World War II. This workshop is highly interactive, where students must complete a series of challenges and clues to “escape” from their unjust circumstances. Whether it is through historical photos, a geographic map of the continental United States during WWII, or through a historical book, all challenges engage the students' imaginations to learn more about this important epoch of American history.
We encourage our campers to understand their impact on their community. Though they may be small now, they still have a responsibility to their friends, family, and counselors to do their best in participating in camp activities!

Kizuna's staff training modules are conducted to build a safe, exciting, and learning environment for your child. Our training is an annually held certification program curated and facilitated by Kizuna staff. Here is a sneak peak on what we require and cover with our counselors before the start of any Summer Camp Program.
All of our counselors are required to go through a California Department of Justice level background check and fingerprinting service to ensure that our counselors will create a safe and healthy environment.
