SDGs Research Project: Thinking About Sea Creatures

In the aim to better connect with our past campers, we have recently launched the new “SDGs Research Project.” An America-side counselor and a Japan-side camper remotely pair up to complete research on a topic chosen from the 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and eventually publish an online article. Through the process, our camper will gain a broader view of social issues, nurture a consistent awareness and problem-solving mindset, and, of course, improve English writing & speaking skills. We hope you enjoy our first publication by Ayako Takao, a camper from 2018 Mito Camp and Matthew Ho, UC Davis graduate, which they’ve been working on for the last 3 months.

Sharing the Ordinary: A deeper look into the everyday lives of TOKIHA counselors. Whether it’s art, leadership, music, engineering or finding a great new book, their creative and intellectual pursuits allow our counselors to bring a unique and creative skill set to camp.

What brings you happiness? What motivates your passion? How do you express yourself? These are questions that inspired this series, and we encourage you to redefine your definition of “ordinary” and reflect on how you can change your perspective about the little things in life that bring you joy.
