‘Seoul-si Disabled Beach Camp’ Operation... Gangwon-do Yangyang-gun Gwangjin-ri Keunbada Beach
Up to 235 Applications Received Per Day
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that from the 15th to August 12th, for about 29 days, it will open the "Seoul Disabled Beach Camp" at Gwangjin-ri Big Sea Beach in Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do, to provide a lively summer vacation for people with disabilities, their families, disability organizations, and facilities.
Marking its 29th year, the Seoul Disabled Beach Camp has newly installed and reinforced wheelchair-only access routes, accommodation facilities, and various convenience facilities to allow people with disabilities, who have found it difficult to enjoy cultural and leisure activities due to COVID-19 over the past two years, to spend their summer vacation more safely and comfortably.
In addition to water activities, various events such as personality type tests, water sports, and mobile contest events are prepared to offer visitors diverse entertainment. Water sports will introduce rehabilitation methods such as swimming lessons for people with disabilities, and the mobile contest event will be conducted through essay and photo submissions, with participants receiving small prizes.
The Seoul Disabled Beach Camp plans to operate in compliance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines, accepting up to 235 applicants per day due to concerns about the resurgence of COVID-19, and will frequently disinfect facilities within the camp. The beach camp is operated with 20 group lodges and 10 family lodges; each group lodge can accommodate 25 people, and each family lodge can accommodate up to 7 people.
