Approximately 70 children from the Sancheong County Regional Children's Center will participate in the program, which will be held in two groups on August 7 and August 19 to ensure safe operation.


The participating children will take part in a variety of activities, including exploring the lower reaches of Jirisan at the Daewonsa Valley Trail and Somakgol Campsite, participating in ecological education related to Jirisan National Park's flagship species, experiencing the forest, swimming in the valley, and trying out activities utilizing local specialties.


The Sancheong County Regional Children's Center Federation expects that this experience will give children the opportunity to directly encounter Jirisan's natural environment and understand the importance of ecological conservation.


Seoeunyoung, head of the Sancheong County Regional Children's Center Federation, said, "I hope that the children will have time for emotional stability and healthy growth as they gain a variety of experiences in nature."



Nature is another place of learning for children. The Jirisan ecological experience goes beyond a simple outdoor activity; it is an opportunity to learn the value of nature and to find emotional stability. Continued interest and support will be needed to ensure that local children can grow up healthy through diverse experiential opportunities.
