The well-received annual “Taipei Discovery Center Young Volunteer Camp” is now here again!

Elementary school students from fourth through sixth grades are welcome to sign up for the camp free of charge. Registration period is between 10 AM on July 24 and 5 PM on July 28.

There will be five sessions starting on August 10, each with 35 openings. Participants who have completed all required tasks during the three-day event will receive a certificate on the result presentation on the last day.

Organized by the Department of Information and Tourism (TPEDOIT), the summer camp has earned widespread acclaim over the years. In addition to educating participants on knowledge regarding Taipei and providing courses on guide training, this year the camp will also highlight Southeast Asian culture and feature a trip to Taipei Railway Workshop.

According to TPEDOIT, the summer camp consists of three parts: professional courses, outdoor trips, and result presentation. The professional classes involve themes spanning Taipei’s urban development, tour guide skills, Southeast Asian culture, and robotic technology. Outdoor trips comprise visits to Taipei Railway Workshop and National Taiwan Museum. The participants will showcase what they have learned during the presentation on August 22.

To encourage participation of children from new immigrant families, the first session will be reserved for this specific group; the other four sessions will be available for online registration.
