Tucked in a dense grove of trees sits Kozy Kabins.  A camp dedicated to outdoor adventures in Japan.  Surrounded by a sea of trees your child will be secluded from the sounds of the city.  It's the perfect place to investigate and explore natural surroundings.  The main road is blocked from oncoming traffic.  Your child can play freely without worrying about cars or trucks whizzing by.

5日間のマウンテンキャンプアドベンチャーの間に子供達に英語を習わせたいと思っている方、スケジュールの詳細をご説明します。日本語での予約も可能です。ご質問は takae@abseiling.me までお願いします。

We accept applications until July 15, however it is based on availability.  If a camp session is full, our site will indicate that fact.  For late registrations, please call for placement.  We are accepting applications for Sessions 1-4 at this time.

Haruna Golden Week 2012 - Day 9 of 9: Folks

Haruna Golden Week 2012 - Day 7 of 9: Campsite

パトリックは5月27日に40歳を迎えます。40歳は特別な歳なので夕方17時から誕生日を迎える夜まで森の中のダンスに皆さんをご招待したいと思います。日没のダンススケジュールは土曜日の18時からです。誕生日の乾杯をした後は4つのバンガローを無料で使えますのでみんなで雑魚寝して下さい。寝袋、歯ブラシ、バーベキュー用のお肉や飲み物は持参して下さい。音楽は日曜日の朝からお昼ぐらいまでまた流します。

渋谷から13時ごろ湘南新宿線に乗り、高崎に到着(約2000円)高崎から榛名湖行きの最終バスは15時30分(約1000円)に出発します。森には16時30分頃到着です。テントを組み立てたり、焚き火用の木を切って下さい。

パトリックからのお願いは一人500円DJの貢献にお支払いいただけると嬉しいです。この旅行は全部含めて1万円かかりません。勿論、冒険も含まれています。

お子様は何歳でも大歓迎です。週末を家族と楽しんで下さい。

Patric will be turning 40 on May 27.  It feels like a special number so he’d like to invite you for a dance in the woods from 5pm to midnight the day before.  Sunset dance scheduled for 6pm on Saturday, May 26.  After a “prost” at midnight everyone is welcome to wildly mingle in one of 4 bungalows, for free.  Bring your sleeping bag, toothbrush, steak, and drinks.  Music restarts in time for breakfast on Sunday morning and finishes around noon.

Depart by LATEST 1pm from Shibuya heading straight to Takasaki (2,000 Yen) on the Shonan-Shinjuku / Takasaki Line.  The last bus heading for Mt Haruna (1,000 Yen) departs from Takasaki at 3:30pm.  You'll then arrive in the woods by 4:30pm.  Time to set up your tent and make firewood.

Patric asks for a mere 500 Yen DJ contribution per person.  That's all.  This 24h field trip shouldn't cost you more than 10,000 Yen all-in-all.  Fun and adventures guaranteed.

Kids all ages welcome.  Combine family with fun for yourself into a single weekend!

聖パトリックの祝日（せいパトリックのしゅくじつ、英：St Patrick's Day, セントパトリックス・デー）は、アイルランドにキリスト教を広めた聖人聖パトリックの命日。3月17日。カトリックにおける祭日であり、アイルランド共和国の祝祭日。

シャムロックを服につけたり、ミサに行ったりする。アイルランドでは何世紀も前からこの日を祝う伝統が受け継がれてきたが正式に1903年より祝日となり、イギリスから独立後徐々に祝祭日として成長した。1996年には政府が主体となってダブリンで5日間の盛大なフェスティバルとなりパレードやその他の行事が行われるようになった。

Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig, "the Day of the Festival of Patrick") is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated on 17 March. It commemorates Saint Patrick (c. AD 387–461), the most commonly recognised of the patron saints of Ireland, and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland.It is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland), the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. Saint Patrick's Day was made an official feast day in the early seventeenth century, and has gradually become a celebration of Irish culture in general.

The day is generally characterised by the attendance of church services, wearing of green attire and the lifting of Lenten restrictions on eating, and drinking alcohol, which is often proscribed during the rest of the season.

Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Newfoundland and Labrador and in Montserrat. It is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora, especially in places such as Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand, among others. Today, St. Patrick's Day is probably the most widely celebrated saint's day in the world.

今年は名刺を新しく作成し、裏面は20%割引のクーポン付きになっています。目的はこの投稿でカードの割引を明らかにする事です。

例えば：1泊2食(6,000円)と半日アウトドアスポーツ体験(8,000円)人気のラペリングとフライングフォックスのセットが通常14,000円の所11,200円になります。

This year, Patric will be passing out special meishi to new and old faces, indicating a 20% discount on the backside.  The purpose of this post is to clarify what the discount is intended for.

For example:  Stay one night including full board (6,000) and chose one half-day activity onsite (8,000), like the popular Rappelling-Tarzan Combo.  Pay 11,200 instead of 14,000 Yen.

名刺持参での割引は一回限りです。(クーポン使用後は名刺の角を切り取らせて頂きます)パラグライダーのように他のアクティビティにはご使用になれません。クーポンは2012年の11月30日までご使用頂けます。働き過ぎずに楽しんで下さい。

Discount applies only for one business card (edge will be cut off after usage), one time, so make sure to let your friends benefit as well.  Cannot be used for offsite activities, like Paragliding.  Only valid during 2012 season, ending November 30.  Have fun and don’t work too hard.

Tokyo, Chiba, and Gunma: Anyone up for a brief weekday vacation? I'll be up in the woods from March 16 to 19 with little Felix. American hippies from the 70s with dogs are enjoying the campsite up at Mt Haruna. Are you ready to break free?  Or still think you're the only one so busy?

Definitely more time was spent outside back in the 70s.  A time when phones and TVs were not transportable.  And if you were forced by any given situation to go back in time, you'd adjust in a matter of months, weeks, if not days.  What do you say?
