Besides reading the book Zhuan Falun and doing the Falun Dafa exercises, the curriculum also included story reading, calligraphy, traditional Korean games, songs, movies, and other activities. Parents and their children wrote letters to each other, expressing their sincere thoughts. On the morning of the last day, children fixed breakfast for their parents. They developed a closer bond with each other through these activities.

Mrs. Han Jiyoung said, “I’ve practiced Falun Dafa since 2018. There was no Minghui camp at that time. I decided to join when I heard about the camp this year. It’s a great opportunity for us to communicate with other practitioner parents and their children. I hope all children will keep Falun Dafa’s principles and Master in their mind and become genuine cultivators.”

Minghui Camp coordinator Mrs. Choi Young-sook, said the last camp was held eight years ago, and this year’s camp was held thanks to everyone’s hard work. She was happy to see young practitioners and their parents establish a connection with their peers through the camp. “The camp has allowed us to stress education and plant the seeds of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in children’s hearts. We hope to hold the camp every summer.”
