2026 K-Summer Camp Registration [Federal Way, WA]

 

The Seattle Office of Korean Education K-SUMMER CAMP is an official Korean language and cultural immersion camp organized in cooperation with the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and various Provincial Offices of Education.

The 2026 camp will be held in Federal Way at Lake Grove Elementary School and is open to 100 elementary students in grades 1–6 (based on the 2026–2027 academic year).

Please note that no prior knowledge of the Korean language is required to participate.

Program Highlights

• Traditional Korean Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience (such as Bukcheong Lion Dance)

• Hands-on craft workshops (Gat and mask making)
• Korean food-making experience
• New Program: “Learning Korea Through Stories”
  • Lessons centered on Korean folktales and historical figures
• Collaborative games and interactive cultural activities

The program is thoughtfully designed and operated by cultural specialists and educators invited from Korea, along with Korean language teachers and heritage school educators in the Pacific Northwest, ensuring high-quality and age-appropriate programming for local students.
