What Parents Are Saying


Alyson had a great time—this is her third year and it seems that she not only learns more every year, but she always looks forward to going to the camp.
Thanks!
Masao Sasaki

Darin had a great time at Camp.  It took him a day to warm up to it, but in the end he was talking about coming to camp next year.
Thank you,
Carol Ann Moriguchi

Thanks again for another great year with Tanoshii.  I look forward to sending both Maddie and my younger daughter, Hayden next year.
Thanks!
Stephanie Lee

 I wanted to sincerely thank you for offering such a wonderful and enriching camp.  I am so thankful my kids had an opportunity to be part of it and learn some fun and interesting things about their Japanese American Culture.  My husband and I are both yonsei, and we do not know much about it ourselves, so we enjoyed seeing and hearing what our kids were learning.  Both of my kids had a great week!  They came home daily excited about what they had learned, and I so enjoyed hearing them singing the Japanese songs and having so much fun with the obon dancing and jan ken po tournament.  Thank you!!
