In particular, the camp sessions develop art remedy technologies for physically challenged children by systemically analyzing the cause of their disabilities, and to provide their parents with art remedy methods that can be applied in their home.
In addition, the camp offers a wide range of art activity programs and a total heath determination for orphaned teenagers who support their siblings. Teachings include the fine arts, ceramic art, music and play. Through these programs, they will have an opportunity to maximize self-development, and learn how to build their future on their own. The camp also furnishes a spectrum of cooperative programs such as building houses. These programs will provide physically challenged children and orphaned teenagers who support their siblings with opportunities to understand and help each other.

These efforts will contribute to helping them cultivate the confidence and ability to adapt themselves to society. The camp is carried out in cooperation with academic circles, so it will be a new community relations model for enterprises".
