Between 2005 and 2017, Solaputi was able to invite 751 children fighting with serious illnesses and their families from all around Japan, free of charge.

Camper Comments

Childrens' comments

Even if I’m sick, I can go to camp and play with everybody and have fun.

I think, if something this fun can happen, then maybe things will change in the future.

After I got home, I didn’t talk about camp for about a week, because it felt too special.

I had a relapse and had to go back into the hospital, and I hated that, but I’d like to go to Solaputi again.

Parents’ comments

I gained self-confidence from participating in the camp. I plan to believe in the potential of children and to try more things in the future.

Children with illness, their siblings and parents all had fun together, and I discovered all sorts of family expressions.
It also reminded me that being together as a family is the most enjoyable thing.

I thought nobody understood this suffering, but there were wonderfully supportive people here.

Participating in the camp made me think, once again, “I’m glad I had my child. I’m glad we are family.”

Transportation to Solaputi Kids’ Camp
from all over Japan

Since Solaputi Kids’ Camp is located in Hokkaido, most campers have to board an airplane to get there.
Based on meticulous information exchange conducted beforehand, the ANA Group supports participants’ air travel in many ways.
Support is tailored to individual circumstances and includes guidance at the airport, securing places to rest, and boarding and disembarking from the aircraft, ensuring that participants’ experiences on the plane and at the airport are pleasant ones.
