Through professional physical fitness assessments, sports science support, and career exploration, the program aims not only to spark interest in disabled sports but also to help participants find the sports best suited to them.


A total of 36 participants attended the camp. The Grand Prize was awarded to Yoon Pyeongwon (25, Daejeon Metropolitan City), and the Excellence Award went to eight athletes including Yoo Hyunwoo (17, Gyeonggi-do). Scholarship funds and support from coaches in their desired sports will be provided to the awardees.
