Camp Foster, formerly known as Camp Zukeran, is a United States Marine Corps camp located in Ginowan City (with portions overlapping into Okinawa City, Chatan town, and Kitanakagusuku village) on the Japanese prefecture island of Okinawa. It is part of the Marine Corps Base Camp Smedley D. Butler complex, and named after the Medal of Honor recipient PFC William A. Foster.
Camp Foster serves as the headquarters for MCB Butler, as well as the Okinawa office of United States Forces Japan. It offers activities for its Marine garrison such as, guided tours off base, a large Exchange with an adjacent food court, a bowling alley, a skate park, a performing arts center, and movie theater. The base operates three schools: Zukeran and Killin Elementary schools, and Kubasaki High School. The base's housing units include Kishaba, Chatan, Futenma, Plaza, and Sada.
