The So-Gnar Mighty Midwest Snowboard Camp Tour - Stop 10 - JAPAN art madness!
Written by Captain Safety
We went into the tour this year with the vision of expanding the Mighty Midwest Snowboard Camps into Japan, but we were up against the barriers of language differences along with figuring out ways we could interact with the kids without speaking. Luckily, Milbery has been to Japan a handful of times to visit, film video parts and work with different Snowboard Publications, his network of friends and snowboard connections could really come in handy.
We collaborated on this tour stop with The Allian Snowboard folks from Advance Distribution, which really helped out with finding the right resort to host camp and also to promote the very FIRST line of snowboards specifically designed for kids and getting the younger generation snowboarding. The new line of Allian kid’s boards are designed by Ingemar Bachman & Pat Milbery. So far, they have been quite popular with kids. Check them out!
So, the way to communicate with the 20 Japanese campers we had attend camp was an idea Milbery brainstormed up and it worked. We have a series of SO-GNAR monsters we design and we figured everyone loves Art, so why not come together during lunch and let the kids design their own So-GNAR monster. The kids loved it and they had so much fun personalizing their desired SG monster. We all had a ton of fun snowboarding together, but this was way of connecting with the kids indirectly through our love for art. Here is a recap of our art session, some of their creations and the fun we had during our Japanese tour stop. In the animated world of Japan, the kids certainly have quite the imagination!
