Ulleung-gun to Hold This Year’s ‘Youth Ski Camp’ at High1 Ski Resort

Resumption After 4-Year COVID-19 Hiatus

For 6th Grade Elementary and 1st Grade Middle School Students in Ulleungdo

Ulleung-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, is conducting a youth ski camp for 42 elementary and middle school students in the area at the High1 Ski Resort in Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon Province, in two sessions.

Youth Ski Camp.

The first session will be held from February 13 to 16 for 20 first-year middle school students, and the second session will be from February 19 to 22 for 22 sixth-grade elementary students.

The ski camp, which started in 2016 and was held five times until 2020, was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic but has resumed this year. First-year middle school and sixth-grade elementary students, who missed out on the benefits during the suspension, have been selected as participants for this ski camp.

The ski camp program provides a valuable opportunity for Ulleung-gun youth, who face relatively poor educational conditions compared to the mainland, to experience diverse cultures and develop a broader perspective through communal living.

Nam Han-kwon, the county governor, said, “I hope the children participating in this ski camp will grow into upright and healthy students by building strong physical fitness and fostering consideration for others and cooperation through communal living.”
