Mengenai PRIC
NPO Pacific Rim International Student Camp adalah lembaga non-profit yang
terdaftar di pemerintahan kota Tokyo, Jepang. Ia menjalankan Pacific Rim
International Camp, dikenal juga dengan PRIC, sebuah camp edukasi untuk
remaja setiap tahunnya di Jepang. Camp ini tanpa biaya (tiket pesawat,
akomodasi, transport dan makan ditanggung penyelenggara).

Tahun ini, PRIC akan di adakan di "Shinshu Takato National Youth Center"
(TYC). Berangkat minggu pertama Agustus 2007 dan kembali minggu ketiga
Agustus 2007.

Tujuan "PRIC"
In order to meet the challenges of globalization, The Pacific Rim
International Student Camp's purpose is to promote cultural appreciation and
international friendship through mutual understanding. In uniting people
from countries of the Pacific area, PRIC creates a multi-cultural
environment reflecting the diversity of modern international relations.


The camp's goal is to encourage active involvement in the development of
society and personal contributions to complex multinational affairs.
However, as the camp's host country, Japan has a special opportunity and
obligation to present itself. Therefore a section of the camp's program is
designed to reveal the country and let the campers experience both
traditional and modern Japan for themselves.

Additionally, in the tradition sense of a summer camp, PRIC endeavors to
provide a character building experience encouraging friendship, leadership
and fellowship. Through 56 years of experience, it has become evident that
the most effective way to promote such ideals in a short period of time is
for the participants to live together. Furthermore, the camp strives to
educate the campers about nature and to deepen their appreciation for the
environment.

In sum, PRIC's programs and activities are designed to train the body, mind
and spirit towards creating young international pioneers, the leaders of
tomorrow.

Mengenai "Camp"
The camp, which is free of charge, is conducted both in English and in
Japanese in Tokyo and the Takato Youth Center in Nagano Prefecture. The
program consist of outdoor activities, country presentations and
intercultural programs conducted in surrounding mountain and lakes at Takato
facilities. The Japanese culture program is designed to give all campers a
chance to learn more about the host country through touring, visiting
factories and meeting business leaders.

Mengenai "Fee"
The host organization will bear all necessary expenses of room and board
during the camp programs including one round-trip ticket to Japan and all
the program expenses within Japan. The participant, however, shall be
responsible for the travel expenses within local transportation in his
country, expenses for obtaining entry visa to Japan and any other personal
expenses.

Mengenai "Kewajiban"
The participant, once selected, must prepare all necessary preparation to
join in the camp. These include presentation materials, souvenirs, and
