INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL PROGRAMS
OUTDOOR EDUCATION IN THE JAPANESE ALPS
At Evergreen, nature is our class room, and Outdoor Education means a lot to us. We believe that educating our youth in the outdoors will help overcome adversity, enhance personal and social development while strengthening our bonds with nature. Through experiential learning, we run our school trips in the form of Adventure Education and can tailor our programs to suit any needs.
As we all know, learning extends far beyond the school walls, and bringing them outdoors from time to time can lead to invaluable experiences for students and teachers alike. Giving individuals the opportunity to experience, master and enjoy new activities in a fun and safe environment can lead to immeasurable personal development and the acquisition of new skills.
With over a decade of experience and an international team of professional guides, we here at Evergreen pride ourselves in the high caliber of our International School programs.
YEAR ROUND SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Whether it is one day of just plain fun in the outdoors, a five day adventurous journey into the Japanese Alps or a ten day camp away from the hustle of daily life, the benefits of immersing our youths into nature and physical activities are endless. There is not a camp that passes by without individual students overcoming personal challenges, realizing their potential and creating lifelong memories with their peers. At Evergreen we provide programmes that make a difference in peoples lives.

Dave, your guys were fantastic! If it weren’t for your professional assistance we wouldn’t be able to run our Outdoor program in Japan.
Thank you and look forward to seeing you in the spring for the year 9’s.

Evergreen set us up really good for the week, from sorting out the camping to organizing fun and active events, they were ever present. We went hiking, did some canyoning, mountain-biking and rafting, among others. The staff are really professional and welcoming and always willing to go the extra mile. I would highly recommend Evergreen and the beautiful region of Hakuba! Arigato gozaimasu to Evergreen.

GREEN SEASON CAMPS
Typically our Spring, Summer and Autumn camps include popular activities such as canoeing or kayaking on Lake Aokiko, mountain biking, canyoning, rafting, hiking, orienteering & tree climbing. While staying in a hotel is of course an option, many schools opt for camping, relying on the students to cook their meals, set their tents and have a truly outdoor experience.
We are able to provide everything from utensils, tables and chairs to tents and sheltered eating areas. Whether it is the first or last day, students will be continually experiencing new things.
Winter Camps
Located at the base of a world class ski resort – Happo-one – we focus primarily on ski and snowboard lessons for our winter camps, as well as sledging & snowshoeing. All of our instructors are qualified and experienced, and all lessons are grouped according to individual ability level. Happo-one is the largest ski resort in Hakuba, and there is plenty of terrain for all levels.
I am a teacher from the Western Academy of Beijing. This year will be our third ski trip to Japan with Evergreen Outdoor Center. Our ski week with Evergreen is an excellent experience. The organization and the care for our group is outstanding. The instructors are high quality and students of all levels have a great experience. We often have the same students returning with us for their week of skiing with Evergreen. This company offers quality experience for our students and I highly recommend them for any school group.Sue Edwards, Western Academy in Beijing

New from 2016
There is an exciting project going on in Hakuba at the moment which Evergreen is proud to be part of. This year Hakuba International School (HIS) will be running their Summer School from July 4th through 10th!
The HIS Summer School has a range of stimulating activities such as outdoor sports, computer programming, creative arts and music! Why not join in for a week of amazing learning opportunities in the stunning natural environment of Hakuba? Your child will conclude the week with new friends and great memories of their unforgettable summer adventures!
Plans are in progress for HIS to become a full boarding international school catering to students aged from 12 to 18 based on the international baccalaureate curriculum, opening its doors in 2020!
