The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of school camp experience on friendshipstrategies in female high school students. The subjects were 110 female high school students in theexperimental group who participated in a five-day camp held in July 1998 and 79 female high school students in the comparative group who did not participate in the camp. To measure the friendship strategies, a part of Naganuma's Friendship Strategies Scale were used. This scale was consisted in twoaspects: "self-disclosure" and "interpersonal distance." It was administered four times from three weeksbefore the camp to three months after the camp. The following results were obtained: 1) The experimental group showed significant change in active self-disclosure which was due to the increase of meanscores' of "talk with the friend over one's own trouble" factor and the decrease of mean scores' of "donot make a close friends" factor. 2) The experimental group showed significant change in independentinterpersonal distance which was due to the decrease of the mean scores of "act together with particular friends at all time" factor and mean scores' of "wish to be liked by friends" factor. 3) Students inexperimental group who depend on the friends showed salient change in friendship strategies.
