Teen Summer Camp: Japanese Language, Culture & The Ultimate Ramen Week!

Looking for an extraordinary summer experience that combines culture, language, and amazing food? The Edmonton Japanese Community Association (EJCA) is thrilled to welcome teenagers to our highly anticipated, week-long Japanese Summer Camp!

Our camp is specifically designed for teens who want to dive into the vibrant world of Japan through high-energy, hands-on activities. It’s not just a language class—it’s a memorable summer adventure where campers make lifelong friends and discover the rich traditions of Japan.

Ramen is a global favorite, and this year, we are taking it to the next level. Campers will learn to make different styles and flavors of authentic ramen every single day! From crafting the perfect broth to understanding regional varieties, your teen will become a true ramen connoisseur.

Camp Highlights Include:

• Daily Culinary Workshops: Cooking and tasting various flavors of Ramen!

• Martial Arts: Feel the energy and discipline with a traditional Karate session.
