What are the benefits of coming to NORTHSTAR?

Action Learning

Action Learning engages students in mentally and physically challenging tasks and concludes with a “debrief” time. During debriefs, students are led through guided reflections on not only the activity, but the personal and group values that contributed to their success or failure. 

NORTHSTAR’s Action Learning Program goals are two-fold; ignite and foster a passion for outdoor adventure, and clarify values ​​to develop student’s capacity to contribute to their communities.

Tailored to Your Group

We understand that no two groups are the same. Would you like students to have more free time or to experience every activity possible? Is there a particular skill or value you’d like us to help students develop? 

NORTHSTAR offers several adventure learning activities that can be customized to your group and goals. 

Exceptional Hospitality

Our lodge, which can accommodate up to 50 people, is staffed by our team of  friendly Japanese and international English-speakers. Delicious and nutritious meals are prepared with love by a dedicated chef.
