Rivendale Summer School
Rivendale Summer School is a comprehensive language program designed for children learning English or Japanese as a second language.
Through games and child-friendly materials we help children gain confidence in their verbal skills as well as accelerate their written and reading skills. Classes are multi-aged and students are observed and given tasks and activities according to their individual skills and abilities. In a non-competitive, supporting environment, children young and old feel comfortable conversing in a second language. During the three-hour class children also enjoy art and cooking projects, music, games and activities in their selected language.
We are offering three one-week sessions this year for the Summer Program, which will begin the week of Jul. 30 and run through the week of Aug. 13. Please choose the AM session (9am-noon) or the PM session (1pm-4pm) and the language you would like your child to study (English/Japanese). This program is for children from four to nine years of age.

Evergreen Outdoor Center Summer Camps
Our summer camp is the ultimate get-away for kids who are keen to have some serious fun! From canoeing, kayaking, and rock climbing to overnight camping trips and mountain biking on off-road trails, our camps have something for everyone. Based at Lake Aokiko, our campers stay in lakeside cabins for the duration of their stay, except for our popular overnight camping trip where we stay in tents. Our camp base has shower and washroom facilities, an outdoor kitchen, an indoor communal room (for dining, games, arts & crafts, etc.) and a boathouse for all our water-based sports. Every day we will prepare our own meals (preparation, cooking & clean-up) in an open kitchen and will rotate the jobs so everyone has a chance to try everything. Camp dates are from Monday to Friday in Jun., Jul., and Aug. Evergreen’s aim is to allow for the growth and development of the human spirit through direct interaction with the natural environment, personal challenge, and teamwork, always accommodating individual needs while maintaining a high standard of safety. This summer take one step beyond; towards excitement, personal challenge, teamwork and new camp friends!

Gymboree Summer Passport Program
At Gymboree we believe that opportunities to play are really opportunities to learn. Play teaches children how to control their bodies, develop confidence and understand their abilities and limits. Summer is a great time to escape the hot weather and learn with your child in our fully air-conditioned facilities. This summer, we will be offering a special passport program which will allow you and your child to attend unlimited classes in your child’s level and free play in our gym room for a one-week or three-week period. Our age-appropriate play, music and art programs, for children three months to five years old, help children practice social skills, develop problem-solving skills, and refine their language and motor skills in a stimulating and fun environment. Each class includes activities that impose simple and playful “rules”, such as working in a group, taking turns, and following or acting as the leader. In addition to our parent-child classes, for older kids, we will also be offering one hour and two hour drop off classes which will give parents a break during the long summer vacation. Please feel free to contact us by telephone at 03-5449-2311 or by email [email protected] for additional information about our summer passport program.
