Gakko 2017

I attended Gakko camp in Japan (2017) and it was probably one of the most valuable, eye-opening and memorable experiences that I have had to date. Being 15 years old (at the time) and wanting to spend my summer with my school friends and on holiday overseas, I was not really looking forward to the idea of a 2 week summer camp. I really had no idea what to expect. Spending every second of 2 weeks with the Kohai and Sempai allowed for us to connect with each other in a way that I had never previously imagined possible. I made friends that I have no doubt will be in my life in the future. The whole experience really helped me to become a better person and gain insight into other cultures, peoples lives around the world and socialize with people a lot older than me, which helped me see where I may want to go in the future and what I may want to do. I will most definitely attend the camp again sometime in the near future and highly recommend the camp to anyone!
