Toshiro, most of what you are looking for works on the regional federation level, and already exists in the form of the US summercamp. There is really no need to have a separate college events, summer camps, programs, etc. All of this already exists, or if it doesnt, look to another regional federation that has it as a template of the direction to move yours towards.
Hi ender84567 I've gone to the AUSKF summer camps and strangely the average U.S. Kendoka doesn't know about it or either thinks you have to be a certain rank to attend even though that is not true. Most people in college who don't practice in a dojo that is a member of a regional federation also don't know about the AUSKF or the events. College kids aren't eager enough to cough up money to become AUSKF members are test. So that is why I recommend these events be seperated sort of like the AUSKF reaching out to them. So they can see value in paying annual dues to the AUSKF. I think it was in 2004 in the fall a delegation from the Kanto Student Kendo Federation decided to also come to Yale for like a Friendship Kendo Exchange which was an event for college students and I'm sure overseen by the AUSKF like the Education Tours. Plus it doesn't have to be a 2 day event like U.S. Kendo Camp or necesarrily need 8th Dan from Japan to come down because we have enough 7th Dan that could teach a seminar.
