Armed with a camera in hand, children will capture the beautiful sights of Jeju Island and their favourite memories before printing them out onto their explorer notebooks.
A Bioblitz is a collaborative effort to document as many species as possible in a specific area within a short time frame.
Participants will explore the forest’s diverse ecosystems, learning how to identify plants, insects, birds, and other wildlife while contributing to real scientific research. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or a curious beginner, this is a unique opportunity to connect with nature, gain insights from expert scientists, and play a role in conserving Jeju’s incredible biodiversity.
Gotjawal forests are ecologically significant in Jeju, as they serve as habitats for diverse flora and fauna. The children will learn about how scientists see and document nature and will have the opportunity to observe the natural surroundings carefully.
With their field journals, Dr. Yena and Ms Jaeha will ask parents and children to share and interpret their findings, making connections between their observations and learnings!
Discover the timeless art of natural dyeing in this immersive experience led by celebrated designer and dyeing master Yang Soonja.
This hands-on experience will guide you through the traditional technique of persimmon dyeing.
Under Master Yang’s instruction, you can experience persimmon dyeing with fabric, and create your very own eco-friendly tote bag to take home. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into the cultural heritage of this craft and its deep roots in Jeju’s history.
From oak trees to ancient ferns, Jeju Forests are vibrant with biodiversity and natural beauty. In this immersive experience, children will have the opportunity to slow down and take notice of the patterns and details in the natural world. Then, the teams will be challenged to create a Forest Map collaboratively.
Children will be creating their very own nature-inspired characters and crafting imaginative narratives around them by brainstorming, storyboarding and bringing their characters to life through their writings.
Both Korean and Singaporean children will be having podcast conversation around their personal stories and unique perspectives. This would develop their communication skills and confidence in articulating their thoughts.
On day 4 and 5, our Singaporean children will get to learn alongside Korean children who will be joining us for the camp. Form new friendships and as the kids create and learn together.

They came, they loved it! ☻

Helen Clare Rozario,
mother of Sophie Clare, 7 years old

“The mere fact that Sophie Clare, as a neurodivergent child, gifted with ADHD and Dyslexia, showed interest in writing on the first day of the programme truly surprised me and touched my heart. It offered compelling insight into alternative, more effective learning methods when creativity was incorporated for her.

The facilitators were professional, respectful, and had an intuitive connection with the children. Although I wasn't present, this was noticed when Sophie Clare discussed how the day went and observed through her interactions with the facilitators during drop-off and pick-up. The way she interacted with them clearly reflected the level of trust and comfort she felt with them.

Despite the drop-off requirement, the whole experience significantly transformed both of us and further strengthened our already close mother-daughter bond. It also unlocked another level of independence and autonomy for her, and the act of letting go for me. I am also pretty pleased with the fact that I was able to work productively with a peace of mind and ease while she was engaged in the camp. I even managed to do some sightseeing on my own during free moments when I wasn't working.”

Gurmit and Denise,
parents of Trent, 8 years old

“What we initially thought would be wholly indoors turned out to be a very interactive and eye opening programme that consisted of storytelling, hiking, photography, marine life exploration, and a unique hands-on experience using unripe persimmon juices as dye. Trent’s imagination and curiosity were stoked and inspired by the engaging facilitators who were encouraging cheerleaders pushing the boundaries of creativity and uplifting his confidence. The facilitators were always on hand to update parents at pick up time.

Trent truly was sad when it ended, which only goes to show how much fun he had making new memories and friends, and absorbing the world beyond Singapore.”

FAQs

As a creative art school for kids, we are in constant search for powerful ways to strengthen creativity in our children. We recognise that the world is our oyster—creativity is not confined to what we find familiar or to our immediate surroundings, but in the fresh and unexplored frontiers. Children can learn effectively about the world and discover their creative identities by experiencing novel and foreign expressions.

This is a day camp.

The parent-child segments begin at 10:00am and end at 4:00pm.

The kids-only segments begin at 9:00am and end at 3:00pm.
English will be the main language of communication throughout the programme, but from time to time, you may hear Korean children conversing in Korean.
Based on our camp schedule, the first three days are parent-child activities. However, on the 4th and 5th day, it is for kids only, so parents are required to drop-off their kids at Pilco Studio in the morning.
As with all our workshops in Singapore and around the world, we believe this segment provides a rare opportunity for children to explore independence without constant parental presence. Half of the camp is designed to be for the children, and we’ve allocated some time for parents and children to come together at certain times.
All our programme leaders are experienced in handling large groups of children. Safety measures will be put in place to ensure that the children are taken care of.
If you have any concerns, do let us know.
