AJET Welcome Camp!

Who: Anyone and Everyone
What: A Party to Welcome all the New JET's to Gifu!
When: August 22rd and 23rd
Where: New Itadori Campland
Cost: Estimated 5,000yen

This is one of the most anticipated events of the year. A chance to
meet and celebrate with the new JET's before the school year begins!

We will spend the afternoon relaxing at the campground and playing in
the waters of a cool mountain stream. Then, as the sun sets (and
hopefully it gets a bit cooler) we will have an all you can eat and
drink bbq. Once your belly is full of delicious food, feel free to
talk, dance, swim, sleep, play games, or whatever else strikes your
fancy (within reason, of course).

We have 8 bungalows rented up in New Itadori Camp. Each bungalow can
sleep 5 people; this means that the limit for this event is 40 people.
Make sure to get your RSVP's in early to make sure we have room for
you!

Getting There - You can get there by bus from Gifu station (Just under
2 hours and around 1000yen) or you can carpool. Directions to the
campsite will be given to drivers. The Japanese version is available
here; http://www.shinitadori.com/map.html



If you are driving please let us know if you have room in your car for
other people. We currently have 8 free parking spaces, so if you can
carpool we will give you a free parking space (up to 8 cars). The camp
is available from 1pm so feel free to come from then onwards.

provided for you. Lunch on the Saturday will not. Be sure to eat lunch

breakfast, time/space to play in a river. First-year JETs, payday is
