Rev. John Oda kicked off the event with a warm welcome to all of our Campers. Since Mr. Mark (Teagle) could not be here this year, he made a fun video for all of us to sing the song he wrote for us, The Mochi Song! Ms. Hikaru (Bakoshi) captured so many snapshots of our morning, then gathered everyone for one big group photo. The children left Camp with lots of handmade crafts, a bag of fresh mochi that they shaped and cooled, and fun memories of Camp Mochi! We are already looking forward to next year! - Kelli Martines & Hatty Lin, 2025 Camp Mochi Co-Chairs
