Welcome to registration for the 2023 Hoshu Dojo Jodo Camp!

This year will be Goto-Sensei's 10th trip to the Americas, and to honour the special anniversary we will be doing a gasshuku-style event - an all-inclusive camp where we train, stay, eat, and socialize together.

This year's camp will be held at Seattle University in Seattle, WA, from Thursday July 6th through Sunday July 9th, with training across two and a half days from Friday through Sunday. Both room and board will also be provided by Seattle U, with the exception of the "formal" camp dinner on Saturday night held at Olmstead Restaurant. There will be several options of rooms available with differing price ranges. While staying at Seattle U is not required, it is highly encouraged. Food is available at the university even if you are not staying there - but will need to be pre-registered.

Read on for more information about the camp, including the seminar schedule, accommodiation, meals, and parking.

We look forward to seeing you in July!

Dietary and Special Accommodations

Please let us know in the "Dietary and Special Accommodations" section of the registration form if you require any special accommodation fully participate in the seminar. Hoshu Dojo is responsible for notifying the University of any requests by seminar participants with disabilities for reasonable accommodation that would require modification of University facilities. Such notification must be made sufficiently in advance of the seminar for the University to consider the request, determine whether the requested modification constitutes a reasonable accommodation or creates an undue hardship, and enter a dialogue regarding the requested accommodation, if necessary. The University is not responsible for making the content of the seminar accessible to persons with disabilities, such as providing interpreters for the deaf or assistance to the vision-impaired.

Please also note that Seattle University dining hall kitchens and the venue for Saturday night's dinner are not kosher or gluten free. Seattle University does have a station that avoids gluten but the kitchen still works with gluten in other areas. This may be okay for people avoiding gluten for dietary or philosophical reasons, but might cause problem for people with Celiac disease.

Please let us know in the "Dietary and Special Accommodations" section of the registration form if any of this affects you so we can discuss arrangements.

Seattle University is a non-smoking campus

Smoking, vaping, and tobacco in any form are strictly prohibited everywhere on campus. Please find a public street off-campus to smoke, vape, chew tobacco, etc.
