ACCOMMODATION
Students taking part in the LTL Tokyo Winter Camp have two options for accommodation: the homestay camp or the residence camp.
Living with a Japanese homestay means your child will live with a local family, get to experience authentic Japanese home life and immerse themselves in the culture. They will also practice their language skills every day after school.
The residence camp allows students to live with other winter program participants in shared rooms.
