Cub's First Sleepover

On September 5th and 6th, Cub class was able to travel to a YMCA camp near Mt. Fuji for a sleepover! The first day that we got there, we went to a beautiful farm and we were able to milk a cow, feed llamas and goats, and play on a fun playground! They loved interacting with all of the animals and exploring the farm. In the afternoon, the children prepared their own futon with the help of the teachers and their partner. It was great to see how proud they were to set up their beds on their own! We had a delicious dinner at night, took a bath, and read two stories before bed. We woke up early the next day at 5:30am to a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji! The kids were all in awe. After breakfast, we went on a treasure hunt and they were able to find cookies l-looking rocks, different colored leaves, and beautiful wild flowers. After lunch, we said goodbye to the amazing view of Mt. Fuji and the welcoming staff at the YMCA camp and headed back to Yokohama on the shinkansen! Thank you Cub class for a great trip and sleepover!
