Free English camps for underprivileged kids
underprivileged: 혜택을 받지 못하는
The Dream Tree Winter Vacation English Camp (꿈나무 겨울방학 영어캠프) for underprivileged students will take place over two sessions from Jan. 6 to 17, 2025. The camp is open to students from elementary 3rd to middle school 2nd grade. The tuition is fully funded by the city.
Since 2010, Busan Metropolitan City has provided low-income and vulnerable students the opportunity to improve their English skills through play-based learning and situational experiences.
The camp will be divided into two sessions based on the district and counties where the participating students live. Each 4-night and 5-day commuter camp session will be held at Busan Global Village in Busanjin-gu District. Classes during the camp will be conducted from 9 a.m. to 5:20 p.m., Monday to Friday.
The registration deadline depends on the local district or county and potential students should contact the local district or county office during the designated registration period.
The camp accommodates 200 students, with priority given first to children from low-income backgrounds and then to those from multicultural families. Participating students will take an online level test and be divided into classes by level. If you qualify or know someone who does, seize this opportunity to revitalize your winter holidays with English!
