In the Akashina area of Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture, the "Azumino City Akashina Regional Outdoor Meeting Summer Program" will be held on Saturday, June 6th, and Sunday, June 7th, 2026, where parents and children can together learn to connect with and appreciate the natural environment. Participants are being recruited from both within and outside Nagano Prefecture, offering a packed schedule of activities such as tent camping, barbecue, and clear stream rafting.
A fulfilling two-day experience offered at a reasonable price.
For 5,000 yen per adult (tax included), all costs are covered, including dinner and breakfast, rental of camping equipment and life jackets, and insurance. Elementary, junior high, and high school students are free. Activities that usually incur separate costs, such as tent pitching, bonfires, breakfast cooking, barbecue workshops, river rafting experiences, and river clean-ups, await participants one after another.
Learning and Playing with "Leave No Trace"
The core of the program is the environmental ethics program "Leave No Trace." Participants will practically learn how to enjoy the outdoors while minimizing their environmental impact and leaving no trace. Because this experience takes place in a park surrounded by nature, it's crucial to be mindful of the surrounding environment and others. By acquiring behaviors that protect nature while playing, family bonds will also deepen.
