Tokyo Night

08/07/2018

After a day of beautiful weather and activities, and a quick rain shower (Rainbow pictured below!), the Hird participated in one of the highlights of the summer, Tokyo Night. Every year, our Tokyo Camp (a Japanese-language camp in partnership with the Tokyo YMCA) hosts a culture sharing event. The campers and staff from the program facilitate a number of different activities including origami fishing (you fish around in a bucket until you get a plastic bag that contains instructions and materials for an origami project), calligraphy, and many others. The staff also perform a dance a few times throughout the night for all of the villages.
