CAMP FOCUS
What is USA Summer Camp?
JAN 19, 2013
USA Summer Camp is the largest English-language
summer camp program in Japan. Each year, Guy
Healy, Japan invites around 140 young Americans to
join one of our teams as American Counselors (ACs).
ACs lead Japanese kids of all ages in English
activities, recreation, and just plain fun. Camp - it’s a
great time!
Who Makes Up the Camp Team?
JAN 19, 2013
Each USA Summer Camp team is
led by an American Director (AD)
and a Japanese Director (JD).
The team consists of about 20
American Counselors (ACs) and a
few Japanese Counselors (JCs). Each AC works with a
group of about six Japanese campers. Our ACs are
generally college-aged American students....

Who is a USA Summer Camp AC?
USA Summer Camp is a very special experience for
our campers. For many of them, their time with the
counselors is the most contact that they will have with
an American. So what kind of people are our
American Counselors? What makes the ACs special?

ZA RASUTO WAADO
Funniest Commercial in a Long Time!
Nisshin has a new commercial out. It’s all about
globalization and the new push in Japan for
companies to use English as their main language. It
is set, however, on a battlefield, pitting Civil War era
Americans against Japanese salarymen. HILARIOUS!
