Summer break has begun! National Park Youth Camp will bring wonderful trips for this year. Based on the suitability and age (from low to high) of participants and the location of activities (from northern to southern Taiwan), we will introduce different types of eco-awareness camps in terms of “elementary school to senior high school category”, “senior high school to university category”, and “adult category”. With these activities, we hope participants can discover the charm and energy of nine national parks and one national nature park through sea, air, and land activities.
