Our Counselor Program is in Full Swing!
It truly feels like Summer Camp has started because we had our first Counselor training last Saturday (May 9)! Not only did we get to reunite with very familiar faces, we were able to meet our brand new counselors and junior counselors for the first time! With eagerness to learn and much needed enthusiasm, our high school and college students soaked up all of our training information and even practiced presenting summer camp workshops with each other! So thankful for this wonderful group of youth & young adults! 👏
We want to see YOU on June 13! 🌻
Pickleball. Yama Sushi Bentos. Shave Ice. Kizuna Crafts. A FUN SUMMER KICK-OFF!
Please join us at Kizuna’s 15th anniversary celebration, where we say hello to you and the start of our summer programs.💞
Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 11AM–2PM at Terasaki Budokan! Tickets are $25 per person (free for children under 7), and with only 250 seats available, it's anticipated that the event will sell out. See you there!
