[BKP2025] BRIDGE Summer Camp Special Program

APCC is a non-profit organization that has been conducting grassroots international exchange activities at the private level based in Fukuoka since 1989. The English name of the organization is “Asia-Pacific Children’s Conference in Fukuoka.”Asian-Pacific Children's CIt is affectionately referred to as "APCC," which is an acronym for "onvention in FUKUOKA."

Every summer, over 200 11-year-old child ambassadors and their chaperones from over 30 countries and regions around the world are invited to Fukuoka for the dynamic intercultural exchange "BRIDGE Summer Camp," which takes place over two weeks and turns the entire city of Fukuoka into a giant campsite, cultivating the spirit of OMOIYARI in many ways. And this summer, about 250 overseas participants from 34 countries and regions will gather in Fukuoka! Why not make some special memories this summer with a half-day special program where you can interact with overseas children of the same age?
