Merry camping days go on in the Mangyongdae Children’s Camp at the foot of the picturesque Mt Ryongak, which is known as Mt Kumgang in Pyongyang.
Mangyongdae Children’s Camp, a comprehensive base for extracurricular activities for schoolchildren in the capital city of Pyongyang, was established at the proposal of President Kim Il Sung. Chairman Kim Jong Il personally named it and set the date of its inauguration. And the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un gave instructions that the camp should be reconstructed at the highest level as required by the new century, went over the formation plan for its reconstruction, and took measures to solve problems arising in the reconstruction project.
The camp, which has been splendidly reconstructed in 2016, is capable of accommodating 1 000 schoolchildren at a time, who spend three, five or seven days there. And a seven-day camping is most popular.
Little campers, who experience new life, together with mates, away from home for the first time, are most attracted to mountaineering on Mt Ryongak.
Climbing up along the course laid on the mountain with an elevation of 292 metres and a gradient of 30 degrees, they train their body and mind and consolidate the knowledge they have learned at school.
Not only mountaineering but also boating, basketball playing in the outdoors, cooking practice and electronic amusement games are so inviting.
And the schoolchildren’s hall serves as a venue for a get-together of the campers,
who show off their artistic talents and the pride of their schools.
The night in the children’s camp advances with merry singing and animated conversations between campers, who feel sorry about the passage of joyous camping days.
The schoolchildren, who enjoy camping under the excellent conditions and affectionate care of the camp’s staff, will never forget the experience.
