The camp began each day at 9 am with the reading of Korean folk tales. Each morning of the camp, students participated in cultural activities such as traditional Korean drum, dance, Taekwondo, and K-pop dance. In the afternoons, workshops were held where students could learn about culture and history by engaging in activities like making a Cheomseongdae of Silla, drawing traditional folk paintings, creating Goguryeo mural puzzles, painting the ten symbols of longevity on canvas, candle making, Korean calligraphy, and fan making. These activities provided a fun and educational way for children to immerse themselves in Korean culture and history.

The highlight of the camp was the exploratory game "Find the Lost National Treasure No. 1, Namdaemun (South Gate)!" which captivated the students' hearts. In this game, participants became detectives, solving secret codes and puzzles to find clues leading to the final destination. Students enthusiastically explored classrooms, lobbies, mini-stores, and outdoor spaces, showcasing teamwork through songs and dances, and competing to find clues first. Through this engaging activity, students learned about Korean culture, historical background, and the Taegeukgi (Korean flag) in a fun and interactive way.

 

It was an exciting week filled with unique and fun traditional Korean folk games such as Jegichagi, Jachigi, Ttakjichigi, and Yutnori. All the games were intense and exciting, and very LOUD!
