Held from the 3rd to the 18th, the program included a one-time yacht experience with guardians on weekends and a four-session yacht athlete experience on weekdays, where participants directly operated yachts. The program accepted applications on a first-come, first-served basis for 12 weekend sessions with 240 participants and 4 weekday sessions with 40 participants.

Interest from students and parents was so high that applications were filled on the first day of registration. Despite the hot weather, participating students enjoyed sailing yachts cutting through the cool sea breeze under the blazing sun shining on the yachts. They also dreamed of becoming key figures leading Buan’s future yacht industry.

Superintendent Jang Gi-seon said, "We developed the Neulbom program outside of school linked to the characteristics of Buan, the mecca of the yacht industry," adding, "Through the operation of Neulbom School, which fosters mutual growth between the community and education, we will continue to provide various opportunities in cooperation with local related organizations so that Buan’s students can grow locally and become future talents."
