A female second-year middle school student who was afraid to stand in front of others and had a shy personality was found through mentoring to have a strong interest in culinary fields such as food styling, chocolatier work, and barista skills, so we planned a 4-night, 5-day camp in Thailand, renowned worldwide for its cuisine, and she attended with her mentor.Her parents were very pleased that her personality brightened and she became much more confident after attending the gap-year camp she planned herself.
