YMCA Challenged Children's Project – YMCA/ACCJ Ohisama Camp

Launched in 1987, in cooperation with the National Council of YMCAs of Japan and the Tokyo YMCA, the YMCA Challenged Children Project (CCP) supports the development of challenged children through camp activities, helping them gain self-confidence and skills for independent living and learning.

It also supports facilities for the challenged and promotes children’s integration into mainstream society by holding friendship camps. The CCP also provides experience and training for current and future volunteers and professionals as well.

ACCJ President Emeritus Tom Whitson interviews Nick Masee (Managing Director, Asian Tigers Mobility), Nobu Seki (Executive Director, Foreign Community Supporting Committee, The National Council of YMCAs of Japan), and Tetsuo Murofushi (Foreign Community Supporting Committee, The National Council of YMCAs of Japan) who explain how the YMCA-ACCJ Ohisama Camp makes a difference to the lives of challenged children and their families.
