Sasebo Summer Camp: 15 Years of Unforgettable Adventures for Navy Kids

Living on Commander, Fleet Activities Sasebo is a unique journey for military families. Summer break brings the challenge of keeping your kids engaged while balancing the demands of Navy life. That’s where Sasebo Summer Camp steps in—a trusted, 5-day overnight program at the Sasebo Youth Center (佐世保青少年の天地) with 15 years of experience and hundreds of happy campers from Sasebo’s American Navy community. Inspired by the creative, community-driven programs of Momenta Kids, our camp offers elementary and middle school kids a summer filled with fun, friendship, and Japanese culture. Here’s why it’s the perfect choice for your family.

1. A Trusted, Base-Connected Experience

Military parents value safety and reliability. Hosted at the Sasebo Youth Center on CFA Sasebo, our camp provides a secure, familiar environment run by staff who understand the military lifestyle. With 15 years of serving Navy families, our 5-day overnight stays offer a structured “home away from home” where kids thrive and parents can relax.

Parent Perk: Drop your kids off with confidence, knowing they’re in a proven program, freeing you to tackle work or enjoy Sasebo’s local charm.

2. Friendships That Last Beyond the PCS

Frequent moves can make it hard for kids to form lasting bonds. Our camp builds connections through exciting group activities like treasure hunts, water fights, and courage tests. Designed for elementary and middle schoolers, our small groups ensure every camper—whether new to Sasebo or a base regular—feels included. Campfires and team games create memories that kids carry through their next move.

Parent Perk: Your kids gain a sense of community with peers who share the military life, easing transitions and boosting confidence.

3. Activities That Ignite Joy and Creativity

Our camp keeps kids active and inspired with a packed lineup of hands-on fun, drawing from Momenta Kids’ creative approach:

• Arts & Crafts: Painting, origami, and other projects to spark creativity.

• Adventure Games: Treasure hunts, water fights, and courage tests for thrill-seekers.

• Indoor & Outdoor Fun: Sports, relays, and games for all interests.

• Campfire Moments: Storytelling and bonding under the stars.

With something for every camper, your kids will find their passion and come home buzzing with stories.

Parent Perk: Your kids return with new skills and a sense of accomplishment, ready to share their summer adventures.

4. A Deep Dive Into Japanese Culture

Living in Japan is a rare opportunity, and our camp brings its culture to life. Kids explore hands-on activities like folding origami, cooking Japanese dishes, and learning basic Japanese phrases. These experiences, hosted at the Sasebo Youth Center, foster curiosity and respect for our host nation, creating memories that stand out.

Parent Perk: Your kids build a connection to Japan that enriches their global perspective, perfect for school projects or future storytelling.

5. Designed for Navy Families
