SUMMER 2025 YOYOGI PROGRAM
INTL will offer a four - week program of Swim Training along with an Experiential Learning during both June & July 2025. For most of the time we
will be operating as a “Classroom without Walls” with an emphasis on experiential education as we focus on Japanese culture and natural history;
exploring museums, temples and parks. A flexible schedule. Pay for the whole week or individual days. The program will include field trips to local
shrines & museums, cultural activities, nature & outdoor activities such as scavenger hunts, bug collecting, and bird counts. The daily swimming
component of the program will be held in the early afternoon.
When: June 16th / 17th / 18th / 19th / 20th / 23rd / 24th / 25th / 26th / 27th / 30th
July 1st / 2nd / 3rd / 4th / 7th / 8th / 9th / 10th / 11th
Where: National Olympic Memorial Youth Center (morning & lunch) 3-1, Yoyogi Kamizono-cho, Shibuya-Ku
We will use two locations for the daily swimming component. We will have swim sessions at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium pool
near Harajuku. We also have access to a pool near the Hanegi park in Setagaya-Ku just a few train stops away from the Yoyogi
NYC facility. We will use the pool near the Hanegi park on field trip & outing days - the advantage on these days is we have use of
the entire facility which we hope will facilitate in providing a more comprehensive program.
Cost: - 10,000 yen / day or 45,000 yen for each 4 weekly session offered. Lunch is included in the cost of the program. Students will have
lunch at the NYC Fuji Cafe or at outside locations on field trip days.
Daily Schedule: Classroom 9:30 – 11:40 / lunch 11:40 - 12:20 / Pool session 12:50 - 2:40 pm (the schedule could vary slightly depending on the day and or the activity. Reserve your spot early as space is limited.
The Swim Training will be instructed by David Moodie, St. Mary's International School Swim Coach. Instruction is both focused + personalized.
