U-GAKU English Camp: An Exciting Opportunity for Young Learners

Overview

From September 19 to 23, 2026, U-GAKU, managed by Crepity, is hosting its inaugural English camp during the Silver Week period. This program is set in three locations: Kanagawa, Tokushima, and Cebu, Philippines, and is designed for elementary and middle school students. The camp not only aims to enhance English proficiency but also to create fun, interactive experiences with native speakers and peers from diverse backgrounds.

The Need for an English Camp During Silver Week

Historically, U-GAKU has offered its English camps primarily during the summer and spring holidays. However, feedback from parents and participants highlighted a demand for English learning opportunities outside of long school breaks. This led to the decision to expand into the Silver Week period.

In an intensive 5-day program, children will engage in collaborative activities with new friends while utilizing English as a communication tool. The focus of the camp extends beyond merely improving test scores to fostering an enjoyable experience where participants can smile, collaborate, and achieve together using English.
