Gakko Camps bring together driven & empathetic individuals from around the world to design and participate in two-week summer camps. Our team of camp creators represent renowned institutions, diverse backgrounds, and an equally diverse set of skills. The campers are high school students looking for “something more” from their schools and from themselves.
Every summer, 45 high school students arrive at Gakko Summer Camps that have been designed uniquely for them. For two weeks, on location at a beautiful site, students engage in rigorous workshops, hands-on projects, and collaborations across disciplines. In a diverse community of friends and mentors, through meaningful international dialogue, students build and take ownership over an “undiscovered country”—a vibrant camp community that has never existed before.
Every summer, Gakko assembles teams of eight counselors- from top US/UK universities, such as Yale, Stanford, Harvard, and Oxford- to collaboratively build a camp from scratch through the design of educational workshops, projects, performances, camp rituals and a compelling two/three-week camp narrative.
Counselors are selected for demonstrated rigor in a diversity of disciplines and generosity in their interactions with others. They are curious about camp as a medium for experiential learning and authentic personal development of an international group of high school students. The Through eleven camps in six years, the Gakko camp project has impacted over 400 individuals from more than 65 nations.
