Junior Ranger Camps

「海やその環境、ウミガメに興味がある子供を持つ人には、このキャンプをぜひお勧めします。沖縄で過ごした彼らにとって特別な機会になりました。ウミガメの保護活動の現場を見学したり、地元の琉球諸島、OIST、水族館を訪れたりすることは、子どもにとって人生を変える可能性があります。お子さんがこれらの分野の仕事に就くきっかけになるかもしれません。」

“I signed my daughter up for this camp because I loved the mission of Churamura. To be exposed to concepts of conservation, ocean safety and the beauty of our natural resources at a young age is invaluable. She came away with many skills: social and physical. She made great friends, had a very positive experience and hasn't stopped talking about biology, ecology and conservation ever since.”​

“My children have always loved sea turtles and it was amazing that they got to learn more about them. They truly loved seeing one up close. Also, the staff were great and treated my kids like their own. What I wasn’t expecting was for my kids to gain so much confidence in the water. Their snorkeling skills have improved so much that they are now better than me! They are diving under the water and clearing their snorkels no problem. At the end of camp, my kids were asking to sign up for the next one.”​

“The activities the rangers did with the campers were not something I would have done in our family environment. They were very adventurous and she grew a great deal from the experience, challenged herself and came through feeling more confident.”​

「親と一緒ではないキャンプで一晩を過ごすというのは、息子たちにとって初めてでした。見守る人たちを信頼する必要があるのはわかっており、チュラムラのスタッフはその役割を果たしてくれました。親との連絡は、威圧的になることなく常にタイムリーでした。一方、子供たちに対する監督姿勢は、参加者自身が決断を下し、青年として磨きをかけられるのに十分でした。」
