Yuhan-Kimberly announced on June 16 that it is recruiting college students to participate in the 'Our Green Mountains 2026 Green Camp,' which will take place from July 14 to 16 in Andong and Uljin, North Gyeongsang Province.
Applications can be submitted individually or in teams of up to four through the official website until July 2. A total of 80 participants will be selected and divided into 10 groups of eight. Participants will receive a total of 20 million won in activity funds, and three outstanding teams will be awarded scholarships worth 4 million won each.
The Green Camp is the longest-running forest environmental education program in South Korea, organized annually by Yuhan-Kimberly since 1988 for college students nationwide. Participants will step out of the classroom to experience the forest firsthand and engage in in-depth learning and discussions on pressing environmental issues, including climate change.
This year, the camp will run for three days and two nights, starting on July 14, in Andong and Uljin. Participants will witness the damage and recovery processes of forests affected by wildfires and engage in experiential programs at selected beautiful forest sites.
Through lectures and mentoring from forest environment experts and NGO activists, as well as group discussions, participants will also develop sustainable environmental ideas. The group proposals will be showcased at an exhibition on August 8 at Seoul Forest, aiming for social dissemination.
A corporate social responsibility (CSR) representative from Yuhan-Kimberly stated, "We hope that the Green Camp will serve as an opportunity to shift perspectives on environmental issues beyond mere forest experiences."
