This safety camp is an expanded program that will be held as a year-round camp to promote a culture of safety nationwide, building on the success of the '4th Korea Youth Safety Camp with Families' held in July. It utilizes the excellent infrastructure of 365 Safe Town, supported by the fire safety grant from Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province.

First, from September 12 to 13, the first group of the fall safety camp will consist of 80 members of the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) overseas volunteer corps, who will participate in a one-night, two-day program. This program is a customized global safety camp for overseas volunteers and will feature disaster and fire safety experiences, a night tour of the traditional market, busking performances, finger magic, and a starlit special program including a nostalgic campfire.

In addition, the city plans to recruit a total of 200 participants for the second and third groups of the fall safety camp, with 100 participants each, targeting institutions, organizations, and families. More details are available on the 365 Safe Town website.

Through this safety camp, Taebaek City expects to: ▲strengthen participants' practical safety capabilities, ▲enhance bonds among families and groups, ▲boost local business consumption, and ▲increase promotional effects through social media. The city also plans to establish a foundation for seasonal themed operations to develop this into a regular safety and tourism content.

An official from Taebaek City stated, "365 Safe Town is the world's first and Korea's largest safety experience theme park, serving as both the starting point for travel in Taebaek and a hub for spreading a culture of safety," adding, "By operating safety camps throughout the year, Taebaek City aims to establish itself as a leading city that encompasses both safety and tourism."
