i am looking for a camp where my 10 and 11 year old children will be immersed in Japanese language while doing fun activities. We are open to going anywhere in Japan. I will be with traveling them so a home-stay is not necessary. thanks!

List of #1 may be English Camps...Japanese camp is here. http://www.naganoken-gakushuryoko.net/summercamp14/
Thank you. Websites are in Japanese. Are there any that are aimed at people trying to learn Japanese so the websites would be in English too?
How is this?

I don't think there are camps that cater to English speaking kids who're trying to learn Japanese. Do your kids speak any Japanese?
Hello,
I found a good summer camp for children.
CHILDREN'S INTERNATIONAL CAMP in Amami
http://www4.synapse.ne.jp/doren-camp/chikakunoomise.htm
Amami is a tropical island near Okinawa.
According to their HP, children can do many kind of water activities.
They say the children can have opportunity to observe the spawning of turtles, the horde of firefly and the very rare wild rabbit.
There is another camp in Japanese by the same organiser.

We can see some photos of the last year.
In these two camps, it seems that children do the almost same activity (in English or in Japanese).
Have fun!

I highly recommend Condordia Language camp in Bemidji, MN. I attend for German camp, but they do offer Japanese as well.
I highly recommend Concordia Language Villages, I have attended the German Family sessions and they are WONDERFUL. I met some of the counesllors from the Japanese camp. Check them out:
FYI - in the Boston area there is a 2.5 week Japanese Exchange program every summer called Explore Japan: In exchange for hosting a Japanese student, your child can attend the program for free to learn about Japanese culture and make a new Japanese friend. www.americanlearning.com.
Each one of the websites listed actually have an link that says English at the top that translates the entire page into English. You just have to look for it.
