Summer Camp Frequently Asked Questions
Q What should I do to prevent the heat in the summer camp?
A For those who are not good at hot weather, choosing a campsite on the lakeside, which has a high altitude, allows you to stay relatively cool and comfortable even in the summer. By setting up the tent in the evening when the temperature drops, you can prevent the heat from being trapped. In addition, let's enjoy the summer camp comfortably with a little ingenuity, such as improving ventilation with a portable fan and using a cooler box and cooling goods.
Q What is the attraction of summer camp? Choosing a recommended campsite
A Summer camp is full of activities and leisure that you can enjoy together in the surrounding rivers and lakes! In addition to the standard canoeing, kayaking, SUP, and fishing, there are also family-friendly plans that you can enjoy while learning survival techniques. You can spend a relaxing time with your children, family and friends.

Q Recommended clothes, outfits, and belongings for summer camp
A Insect repellent, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat are essential items to enjoy the summer camp. From the viewpoint of sunburn and insects, we recommend long sleeves and long trousers that avoid exposing the skin as much as possible for both boys and girls. Choose a sunscreen with SPF30 ~ / PA ++ or higher for the outdoors and reapply it every 2 to 3 hours. It is effective to apply insect repellent over your clothes. Choose sunglasses with low UV transmission to protect your eye health from the amount of UV rays that increase significantly at higher altitudes. For summer camp clothes, we recommend using linen, which has good breathability.
Q Measures against insects in summer camps and what to do if you are bitten by insects
A In summer camps near the waterside, insects such as mosquitoes and gnats are especially worrisome. Be aware that gnats live in beautiful rivers and are as large as flies, and when bitten, they are more itchy than mosquitoes. Remove the caterpillar's hair needles with tape. If you are bitten by a tick, you should not remove it yourself. If you fail to remove it, some of the ticks may remain in your skin and you may need to make an incision, so go to the hospital with the ticks on. The leeches that live by the water are not poisonous, but if you are bitten, the blood will not stop easily, so let's press it. Even if you are wearing long sleeves, you need to be careful where your skin is exposed. If the pain or swelling does not go away after a while, go to the hospital immediately.
Q What are the precautions for summer camp?
A Be careful of sunburn and heat stroke in the summer camp where the sun and UV rays are the strongest in the year. If you are a family with children, always be careful, such as parents diligently applying sunscreen and hydrating at a fixed time. Also, in the summer, I'm worried about measures against insects. It is desirable to take measures such as putting the hem in the shoes between the long pants and socks, and it is better to choose insect repellent while paying attention to the ingredients so as not to be bitten by mosquitoes or gnats. Leeches, caterpillars and centipedes that live in the river may be hidden in children's clothes, so parents should be careful.
