2025 夏休みサマースクール Lexis Summer Day Camp: Glow Together
Jared Maier
Does your child crave high-energy adventures or prefer to dive into creative projects?
Summer Glow Adventure packs three days with pool games, a giant water-slide, and a splash-happy water-gun battle, while Glowing Art Camp stretches over five days of UV face-painting, glowing ball-lamp design, and a museum trip and capped off with a trampoline bounce.
Both camps are 100 % English-immersive and finish by 3 PM daily—just in two totally different ways to shine.
1) Glow Together Adventure
Dates: Tue 29 Jul – Thu 31 Jul (3 action-packed days)
- Built for kids who love to MOVE. Exciting pool games, a giant water-slide run at Sayamako Ski Slope, and a color-team water-gun battle in Inokashira Park keep the energy sky-high.
- English in motion. Experienced native teachers coach real-life phrases as kids play, learn, grow and shine together with everyone safely back at Lexis and dismissed by 3 PM.
- All are welcome to join this camp, as this is activity based, beginners are welcome to join and use English intuitively.
2) Glow Together Science and Art Returnee & Bilingual Camp
Dates: Mon 4 Aug – Fri 8 Aug
Create it, explain it— in English. Kids learn science, language arts and bioluminescence vocabulary, present their artwork in English, and take home a shining lamp and art project to remember the week.
Perfect for returnees and bilinguals with creative minds. Day 1 UV face-painting photo shoot, Day 2-3 glowing ball-lamp design and painting, Day 4 field trip to the ART AQUARIUM Museum, and a Trampoland jump-and-glow showcase on Day 5.
This camp is restricted to those with the ability to communicate and use English at a high level. Students enrolled in the Lexis Returnee program, international schools, or equivalent will be admitted. Outside students are subject to a level check to confirm ability and for accurate classroom placement.

Games, worksheets and fun reinforce bioluminescence vocabulary before the 15:00 finish.
Tue 5 Aug – Glowing Ball-Lamp Prep
After another morning of international level language arts and science study, students design bioluminescent inspired patterns for spherical LED lamps while practicing the language of art and design. Peer sharing helps refine designs ahead of painting. Led by experienced teachers and professional artists.
Wed 6 Aug – Spherical-Lamp Painting Day
A third morning of study reinforces scientific language and brings forward more conceptual design ideas for the after. Using a bring array of paints, each child decorates their spherical lamp and tests it in a dark room for instant wow-factor. Brief English show-and-tell sessions let them present their creations.
Thu 7 Aug – ART AQUARIUM MUSEUM Visit
The group visits the Ginza museum to observe illuminated light and aquatic installations and complete themed worksheets linking art and science. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant. Everyone returns to Lexis by 15:00 to log fresh ideas in glow journals.
Fri 8 Aug – Trampoland Niiza & Glow Showcase
An action packed morning of fun! The massive indoor play-place that is Trampoland will surely get kids excited.
