Parents' Voices
I am very thankful that we were able to experience so many activities during the four days and my child had a great time. It is not easy for individuals to do this, so I am very grateful. He was surprised that he was able to spend four days without a TV or cell phone.
I think this proves that he never got bored and enjoyed the camp to the fullest."
Thank you very much for the fun camp we had the other day.
My son has been looking forward to the camp at UNPLAN for a long, long time since he attended the last ENGLISH CAMP.
He had so much fun that he didn't want to leave and didn't want to be away from his teachers, even though it was his first 4-day/3-night camp. Thank you so much for all your help.
My son, who is an only child, seems to really enjoy living together at UNPLAN because of the lively atmosphere.
The staff must be very good at creating an atmosphere where everyone is happy and friendly. Thank you for a truly enjoyable camp.
This was my first trip away from my parents in a long time, partly because I had not been given such an opportunity with the Corona Disaster.
I was anxious, but the interaction with the staff and new friends was stimulating every day. Many of the staff members took very good care of us, and both parents and daughters were able to leave us in good hands. I would like to participate again. Thank you very much.
