Forest & Forestry Experience Class (Overnight)

About this event

This is an overnight hands-on workshop aimed at 3rd-grade elementary school students through 3rd-grade junior high school students, designed to deepen understanding of forests and forestry through hands-on activities interacting with nature and wood. In the woodworking class, participants can take home the crafts they create. In the forestry experience, entering a real forest provides a valuable opportunity to learn about trees. Participants also experience preparing meals themselves, learning the importance of food through cooking breakfast and dinner. Furthermore, they can experience catching trout by hand, a classic summer tradition, making it a program to fully enjoy nature. The entire schedule is 2 days and 1 night, with 2 sessions scheduled. Each session has a capacity of 20 participants, and the participation fee is 2,000 yen.
