This camp was planned to strengthen students' self-directed learning abilities and spirit of inquiry based on the legacy of Jeong Yak-yong. The city focused on providing elementary students with an opportunity to explore and understand their future career paths more deeply, as an extension of the 2nd Career Education Expo held last month.

The main programs of the camp included a Bubble Arts performance supporting dreams, the Jeong Yak-yong Quiz Contest, and advanced science experiences, allowing students to experience various fields and build a vision for the future.

Mayor Ju Gwang-deok of Namyangju said, "Just as a seed can bear fruit through the care of a farmer, if you nurture and encourage your dreams, you can achieve the dreams you hope for," adding, "We will continue to actively strive to provide various educational experience programs for the youth, who are the future assets of Namyangju City, by emulating Dasan's humanism and practical learning spirit," joining the first step of the camp.

Namyangju City plans to continue various career exploration and experience activity programs next year as well, aiming to continuously expand opportunities for elementary, middle, and high school students in the region to find their aptitudes and dreams and grow.
