Let's Dive into the Autumn Forest at the Gwanak-gu Samsung-dong Early Childhood Nature Learning Center!

Operation of Non-Face-to-Face Forest Experience Program Minimizing Contact for Families with Young Children... Scheduled Every Saturday and Sunday Until the 14th, All Programs Are Free

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) is operating a family forest experience program called ‘Autumn Ssok~ Our Family’ at the Samsung-dong Early Childhood Nature Learning Center for families with young children visiting Gwanaksan Mountain this fall.

The Samsung-dong Early Childhood Nature Learning Center (located at Samsung-dong San 58-20) was established as part of the 7th local government’s pledge to expand early childhood nature learning centers and opened in September last year.

The area is densely planted with tall Metasequoia and Strobe pine trees reaching toward the sky, and a valley stream flows right next to the learning center, making it a true playground and learning space for young children in nature.

Various forest experience play facilities such as ▲net climbing ▲insect hotel ▲train play ▲snail play are installed throughout the site, enhancing children’s curiosity and creativity, and providing a healing space where the whole family can enjoy nature together.

The ‘Autumn Ssok~ Our Family’ forest experience program being operated this time is prepared to allow participants to enjoy nature while adhering to COVID-19 safety guidelines.

Participation is limited to six families per session, and to prevent overlapping routes among participating families, the program is designed in an ‘ecotouring’ format where families solve missions prepared at each location by exploring and experiencing on their own.

Various missions such as sky watching, finding hidden insects, and playing with jookbangul (traditional Korean shuttlecock) are included, along with surprise events exclusively for each family.

Applications can be made on a first-come, first-served basis through the Seoul Public Reservation Service (Education → Experience & Field Trips), and the program runs every weekend (Saturday and Sunday) until November 14. All programs are free of charge.

Mayor Park Jun-hee said, “I hope families with young children, exhausted from COVID-19, can enjoy nature and experience it together to soothe their bodies and minds tired from social distancing. We will continue to expand early childhood nature learning centers where children can interact with nature and enjoy safely and healthily.”
