Project Report | Feb 4, 2025
To Another Year of Impact!

By Kozue Oka | Executive Director

Dear Mirai no Mori Supporters,

After wrapping up our biggest Summer Camp in 2024, we continued to expand our programs through the fall and winter, ensuring that the children we support had consistent opportunities for growth, adventure, and connection:

  • In November, our forestry experience weekend program gave campers the chance to immerse themselves in nature, learning about forest ecosystems and teamwork.
  • In December, we closed out the year with Christmas programs and care home visits, filling the holiday season with warmth, joy, and a sense of belonging.

We kick off 2025 with our Snow Programs in January and February, where children enjoy winter adventures in Niigata, a prefecture north of Tokyo. Activities include sledding, snowball fights, snow cave building, and climbing. A special highlight of Snow Program is our night hike, where campers experience the stillness and beauty of a winter night under the stars.

Session 1 in January was particularly inspiring, with 90% of participants being returners, demonstrating how much they’ve grown by applying what they’ve learned in previous programs. In February, we will hold two more full weekend sessions, each welcoming around 40 children for a weekend of new challenges and self-discovery.

Looking ahead, we are excited to have more and more camper participation from the care homes we collaborate with, maximizing our impact in 2025.

Your continued support allows us to provide transformative outdoor experiences and a safe environment for the children we support to build resilience, confidence, and problem-solving skills.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our mission!
