Myoko Winter Academy

Nature as Teacher

Myoko's snow country becomes the classroom. Away from daily distractions, teens rediscover focus, build resilience, and learn through shared challenges in stunning landscapes.

AI That Builds Real Projects

The Human+ curriculum is hands-on and project-based. Teens leave with a working AI-powered creation — from an interactive website to a chatbot — developed around a real-world theme they care about.

Cultural Immersion

Hot spring rituals, shrine visits, local craft workshops, and authentic Japanese meals help teens connect deeply with a new culture.

Supervision You Can Trust

Small group size with a 1:6 adult-to-teen ratio, licensed guides, certified staff, and 24/7 support.

Where Future Skills Meet Mountain Magic

While other teens scroll through winter break, yours will be building snowmen and building projects they can be proud of. This is not just a trip or a coding camp — it's an immersive, project-based learning experience where artificial intelligence meets alpine adventure.

Picture this: Your teenager wakes up in a cosy mountain lodge, steps outside to pristine powder snow, then later that same day builds an AI chatbot that solves a real problem they care about.
