This camp was organized to provide self-reliant youth with an opportunity to relax and enjoy nature with their mentors, fostering healing and joyful communication.


A total of 47 people participated in the event, including 18 self-reliant youth, 22 mentors, and 7 city officials. Participants revitalized their bodies and minds through activities such as a zipline experience and a visit to the recreation forest, and spent time building connections and unity through a "Fragrant Communication Therapy" lecture and recreation programs.


Before departure, Mayor Joo Gwangdeok offered words of encouragement, saying, "I hope this camp will empower self-reliant youth and become a time to nurture new dreams with their mentors. I wish for everyone to return safely and create precious memories."


The camp's lectures and recreation programs provided warmth and confidence to the youth, while giving mentors an opportunity to understand the young participants more deeply. One youth commented, "Just knowing that I am not alone and that we can be together gives me great strength."



The city plans to continue providing various forms of support to help self-reliant youth settle into society in a stable manner.
