A lodging-type snowboard camp event "VINTEL SUMMER SNOWBAORD CAMP (VINTEL)" will be held with friends for a week from July XNUMXth to XNUMXth, centering on Toyama Kings in Toyama Prefecture, which proposes "asobi type that can only be done in summer". did.
This event for minors is not only for snowboarding, but also for playing in the nature of Toyama while living together, touching things and music, and "growing as a person by sharing new experiences with friends I met through snowboarding." Aiming to "do"? Summer snowboard camp.Twenty-six children from all over the country gathered and enjoyed the beginning of the summer vacation with all their might.On behalf of the staff and people involved in this event, I will tell you about the state of VINTEL.

"Living with different types of professional riders"
The first thing to worry about is, "Who will take care of the children?" At VINTEL, various types of riders and trainers always live together from the time they wake up until they go to bed.
First of all, "Sho Hansai" who is the principal of JAPAN PARK SCHOOL, and "Daisuke Nishimura" and "Daiki Kaga" who perform Koso training CAMP at WOOT SNOWBOARD PARK SCHOOL.They offer snowboarding lessons year-round and are professionals in snowboarding lessons.
Then, "Yuka Fujimori" who goes around the world championships and shooting, "Erika Fujiwara" who proposes video production and free snowboarding around various places, and shooting in the backcountry such as Alaska. I'm "Kazushige Fujita".All the staff will tell the children about their snowboarding feelings and experiences that they felt in various places in Japan and around the world.
In addition to teaching children's mental care and setting goals, trainer Takatsugu Matsumoto also proposes coaching policies and voices for the coaches, as well as ways to better engage with children.
Such coaches play the same role as school teachers and live a life that is close to the many emotions of "emotions" children.If I stayed with him for many days, I would have some troubles, but in the third year, he was familiar with me and treated me like my parents and siblings.Living away from parents is a great adventure for small children.The coaches had a firm attitude to understand the feelings of such children.
"I will do my own thing"
Children do everything from waking up to going to bed, but washing, changing clothes, and packing may be unusual tasks for children.Of course, the coaches also support, but basically the children do it themselves.You can have your coach turn the washing machine, but you have to dry the laundry yourself, and you prepare yourself to go to Toyama Kings.Dry your wet boots yourself. Every time I slip on KINGS, it gets wet, so I wash and dry it every day.Isn't the difficulty of parents permeated?I thought, but the coaches were the ones who realized it the most.
What is different from school is that the schedule is all play, and if you follow the rules, you are basically free.Basically, it's okay to do anything if you can keep the meeting time, but in reality, there are few children who do not sleep at night because the active schedule is packed.Sometimes I don't get enough sleep, but that's my responsibility.By learning various things from your own mistakes, you may be able to reduce your next mistakes.I don't know how much children usually do on their own, but I think that experiences and failures in such an environment without parents will lead to emotional growth for children.
"Have a clear goal, and play with many activities to feel the nature and summer of Toyama."
At VINTEL, first of all, there is a worksheet filled out by trainer Mr. Matsumoto.Therefore, I will clarify the goal, but the color of the eyes of the children will change in this one-hour class.I can't tell you the content of the lecture, but there is this lecture at the beginning and end of VINTEL, and there is also a lecture for parents, "How to interact with children".This is something we have been using since this year, but it seems that it was a good opportunity for both children and parents to adopt new ideas.
With friends I met through snowboarding? By having various experiences, this time, in addition to rivers and disc golf, there are about XNUMX kinds of musical instruments in the campfire in collaboration with Toyama's band "Agricultural MUSIC Agricultural LIFE". I felt the vibes of touch music. Children who are nailed to them, showing them how to use various musical instruments, saying "Music is nori".I think there are many parents who go home and begged for musical instruments.Children who were curious about musical instruments that they had never seen, children who imitated them and had sessions with several people, seemed to surely convey the joy of music.
When making an original T-shirt, you choose the pattern and color yourself and print it yourself.Maybe you haven't experienced this time, which would be interesting even for adults.Make a T-shirt in your own world.T-shirts full of children's individuality were completed, and many children wore them immediately and slipped.At the end, the coaches also made T-shirts, and it was impressive that their eyes were shining like children.
By playing in nature, you can train your body naturally, and by experiencing beautiful nature and new culture, you can nurture a rich mind.Then, make thoughts with your own head, and actually shape the image in your head.
Have such an experience with friends I met on a snowboard. All of VINTEL's activities have meaning, but I don't feel the rigid impression of a school.School is of course important, but there are many things to learn from VINTEL's flanks.Approaches to change children's thinking circuits were found in various parts.
Finally, the main snowboard.Toyama KINGS has separate lanes for free run zone, small kicker, middle kicker, and big kicker, but riders are resident in all lanes and children can choose their own lanes and slide.What should I do to reach the goal I set for the first time?The coaches are helping the children to think as much as possible.It may be a shortcut to improve by looking at the rider's example, imitating it, receiving advice and practicing it, deciding a theme and trying it together, and working hard with everyone of similar age and level.And above all, it is most important to have the feeling of enjoying snowboarding.Let's enjoy skiing, not the idea of practice!The riders were devoted to creating a state of mind.
"Because it is a snowboard that can be done by one person, the number of friends is infinite"
Even one person can snowboard.But it's decided that it's more interesting to skate together.Snowboard children get together and play together.Children with various dreams participated in VINTEL, which began to think that it would be nice if there was a place where such snowboarders could do ordinary things. It makes sense to have a lot of friends because it is a snowboard that can be done by one person, and because it is not a team, the number of friends is infinite.And even if they are of different ages and levels, snowboarders can slide and play together if they like snowboarding together. At VINTEL, I often heard the words that not only children but also parents, riders, and adults grew up.VINTEL spent with friends.Have a new experience with new friends.There is no doubt that such a lot of experience at VINTEL has made them grow.
The next VINTEL SUMMER SNOWBOARD CAMP will be next year.
Thanks to you, I heard happy voices from the children and parents who participated, saying, "I want to do it in winter as well." VINTEL will continue to enjoy snowboarding and propose places to grow.
