Short-Term Study Abroad / Summer Camps
Set in nature-rich regions such as Hokkaido, we collaborate with local forest schools to offer short-term study abroad programs and seasonal camps lasting from one week to several weeks.
Set in nature-rich regions such as Hokkaido, we partner with local forest schools to offer programs ranging from one week to several weeks. Learning takes place not in “designed classrooms” but in real forests. We emphasize sensory experiences, free exploration, and structured autonomy. Children develop creativity, resilience, and the ability to continue learning— stepping away from concrete cities and into the real world.
In collaboration with local farmers, we provide organic farming experiences. Children directly participate in the process: sowing, caring, harvesting. They learn the origins of food and natural cycles, and gain lessons in nutrition, responsibility, and gratitude. This is not merely farming, but an experience that cultivates values and deepens understanding of connections between people, land, nature, and society.
We regularly host online and offline lectures
and learning sessions for parents and educators.
Key themes include:
1. Forest Education
2. Steiner / Waldorf Education
3. Developing irreplaceable skills in the AI era
In a time when efficiency is prioritized,
we re-examine—together with families—
where children should truly be guided.
It symbolizes a path of growth that guides children toward rich and fulfilling lives. Starting from Japan’s most nature-abundant regions, HIKARIPATH offers holistic educational experiences through Study Tours, authentic nature experiences, and forest education programs.
