What is Camp Musubi?

Camp Musubi is a weeklong day camp that uses fun activities to teach middle schoolers about Japanese American heritage. The goal of the camp is to spark interest in the Japanese American culture and community through hands-on experiences and interactions with people in the community. Participants will learn from a variety of cultural and community leaders and do group activities with a college-aged leader.

Dates: July 15-19, 2013, 9AM-4PM

What kind of fun activities are part of the experience?

The activities will include a combination of cultural experiences, games, and field trips. Cultural workshops may include taiko, ikebana, martial arts, papermaking, cooking, calligraphy, etc. Guest speakers will include cultural artists, Japanese American Professional and athletes as well as people from community groups. Past participants have gone on a scavenger hunt throughout J-Town and visited various sites such as the Japanese American National Museum, Terminal Island and Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden at CSULB. A fun trip and a picnic are also planned. This year Camp Musubi has decided to do something it’s never done before, an extend day trip to Manzanar National Historical Park.
