Busan Office of Education to Offer Free Sports Neulbom School Weekend and Vacation Camps

Sports Experience Program for All Elementary Students in Busan

Promoting Neulbom School with Physical Training and Character Development

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will offer the “2024 Sports Neulbom School Weekend and Vacation Camp” program free of charge for elementary school students, in collaboration with member sports organizations, until the end of this year.

This program is being operated based on an agreement signed last April between the Busan Office of Education and 31 member sports organizations in the Busan area, aimed at providing a diverse and substantial Neulbom School experience.

Last month, the Office of Education accepted applications for the program from all elementary school students in Busan. Most sports categories closed within about 20 minutes of opening, and more than 8,000 students?twice the total capacity?applied, demonstrating overwhelming interest.

This camp is organized into two courses: the “Weekend Camp” and the “Vacation Camp.”

The Weekend Camp will run every Saturday and Sunday from September, when the second semester begins, through December, offering hands-on experiences in various sports such as rowing, canoeing, marine leisure sports, Ssireum, and gymnastics.

The Vacation Camp will be held intensively for one month until August 30, featuring 26 sports in both marine and general categories, including surfing, yachting, roller skating, and volleyball. All fees for both courses will be fully covered by the Office of Education.

The Office of Education expects that this program, which allows students to enjoy a variety of sports that are usually difficult to access under expert guidance, will greatly contribute to students’ physical development, character building, and the revitalization of Neulbom School.

Ha Yoonsoo, Superintendent of the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, “This camp will greatly help both to promote physical activities and to ensure a substantial Neulbom School operation,” adding, “I hope many students participate in this program to build their fitness and create enjoyable memories.”
