chi Summer Program
Program Dates: June 6th – August 5th, 2011
The Tomodachi Summer Program offers children (entering Kindergarten – 6th grade) a unique opportunity to not only build new friendships, but also gain exposure to a variety of activities and interests. Through Tomodachi’s Club Days, children can participate in everything from athletic skill development to creative writing. The goal of the program is to offer children a well-rounded experience to minimize the “runaround” that parents often have to endure to ensure that their child is exposed to a diverse array of interests.
New for 2010 is weekly Japanese cultural enrichment. Each 3 week session will focus on a theme – Japanese Arts & Crafts, Japanese Food and Japanese Games, Sports and Toys. The children will learn and experience the different aspects of the Japanese culture from experts in and around the Japantown community.
In addition to the enrichment classes and multi-cultural activities, children will have the opportunity to participate in fun field trips. Past field trips have included: Discovery Kingdom, ice skating, and the zoo.
JCYC is particularly proud of the many children who grow up through this program and move on to become participants of the Teen Program and eventually Youth Leaders. All Youth Leaders participate in 40 hours of training to prepare them to be positive mentors for young children. Training topics include: early childhood behavior, how to effectively supervise and implement activities with children; first aid; and safety procedures. The Tomodachi Youth Leaders are supervised by adults who accompany them and the children on outings and provide ongoing training and guidance.

Tomodachi Summer Teen Program
The Summer Teen Group program has been designed to support the unique developmental needs of middle school aged youth entering 7th or 8th grades.
