Youth Bridge: K-Life Winter Camp: Cohort 1
Youth Bridge K-Life Camp: Winter Edition is a 9-night, 10-day youth experience program designed for international participants who want to experience Korea beyond sightseeing.
Instead of simply visiting famous tourist spots, participants live Korea together with K-Buddies and Korean university students through campus life, local youth culture, K-beauty, K-food, K-dance, ice skating, chimaek night, Busan MT, and everyday Korean lifestyle missions.
The program is operated mainly in Daegu, a local city where participants can experience a more authentic side of Korea, with a final cultural trip to Busan.
It is a K-life camp where participants become the main character of the Korea they have seen in K-dramas, films, and social media.
Through hands-on activities, buddy missions, free exploration time, and local community exchange, participants learn, experience, and connect with Korea in a more personal way.
Travel is not just seeing, it is living!
Participants arrive in Daegu, check in to their accommodation, and meet the Youth Bridge team. After a short orientation, students receive their welcome kit and join a relaxed welcome gathering to meet other participants, break the ice, and get ready for their 10-day Korea experience.
