Welcome to the Camp Musubi website!

Camp Musubi is a weeklong day camp that uses fun activities to teach young people about Japanese American heritage. The goal of the camp is to spark interest in the Japanese American culture and community through hands-on experiences and interactions with people in the community. Participants will learn from a variety of cultural and community "experts" and do group activities with a college-aged leader.
