Camp Raphayada It's MK Camp!
MK's (missionary kids) over 4th grade are welcome to attend.
Camp has been enjoyed by the children of Christian workers here in Japan for over fifteen years and it’s a fabulous time of fun and spiritual encouragement (4th grade and above); we would love to invite MK’s everywhere to join us for MK (missionary kid) camp once again this year! If you've been before you know what you have to look forward to; if you haven't been yet...well, you'll want to make this a summer to remember!

(Application officially closes on July 31st.)
This promises to be an amazing camp with relaxation and fellowship, time spent in nature, swimming, barbecue, hiking, group competitions in carpetball tournaments, musical opportunities (if you play an instrument, feel free to bring it along), creative sports, original and fun crafts that everybody can get into, but most importantly, a time of youth worship, spiritual refreshment and renewed commitment to our individual relationships with God.
Cost: Since this camp week is subsidized, it is only ¥12,800 per camper for the entire 5 days of camp. Since this is a ministry to our MK families we also provide the offer of two paying children (¥12,800 x 2) for as many children as would like to attend from the same family.
Age requirement is 4th grade up (younger is okay when attending with a responsible older sibling).
See you soon!
