Our delightful Japanese House in Fairmount Park, Shofuso, hosts a refreshingly low key summer daycamp program every year. Both my sons have attended several one-week sessions over the years, and the experience was not only wonderful, but remarkably affordable. All sessions share certain focus, but there are specialty features with each session, including Japanese Arts, Japanese Puppet Theater, Japanese Martial Arts & Music, and the Japanese Tea Ceremony.

Note that my rough and tumble sons thoroughly enjoyed a session where the focus was the tea ceremony, and having tea served to my wife and I with considerable style by the two of them, in bowls they made no less, while they grinned from ear to ear, was certainly a moment to cherish.

For more information on the camp, be sure to visit Shofuso’s official website.
