Kaneko Day Camp In the summer, ASP students who like working with children who are in grades 2 to 8 and want an opportunity to share Japanese culture have the opportunity to be involved in Kaneko Day Camp. Day Camp Staff training and planning time is scheduled during the summer semester to prepare for the week of camp in the summer, usually in August. The staff works together to plan skits, demonstrations, snacks, and special activities for the week. ASP Students Receive: Positions Available: Room for 1 week in Kaneko and a stipend for food Teachers & Counselors Teachers plan four days of Japanese activities for Day Camp. These include Origami, Games & Songs, Language Learning, Calligraphy, and Cultural Activities. Counselors are assigned one age group of students and accompany their small group at all times to each activity. The counselors' main responsibility is to assist the children in their activities. This includes encouraging, listening, and helping. Counselors are also in charge of planning presentations at the large group meetings. Page 36
Tomodachi "Friendship" Program Community members may volunteer to be a “friendship family” for the time that the ASP students are in Salem. An orientation program for the families and students is held. Then, at a “matching dessert,” families are introduced to students. This is not a homestay program. It is a friendship program. Students and families are encouraged to meet together at least once per month. There are several activities scheduled during the year to which the families and students are invited. Families are also invited to the closing ceremonies at the end of the year. This program is optional. If a student signs up to participate in the “tomodachi”, the student must allow time in his/her schedule to participate in the events that the family plans. There is an assignment sheet that each participant must complete during the year. Assignments include telephoning your family, e-mailing your family, inviting your family to lunch or dinner at ASP, etc. It is also important for you to invite your family to various ASP/WU events. There are many kinds of “American families”: one parent with children, an older single woman, older people whose children are grown, young couples who do not have children, or young single people who live in an apartment, and of course, the family of two parents and children. Many Tomodachi program participants enjoy having two students, so some of the students may share a Tomodachi. Many Americans do not smoke so students are asked to not smoke in their Tomodachi’s home unless they permit it. Page 37
