On Saturday, you will experience beautiful scenery as we bicycle and canoe around the islands of Chuncheon as we are making our way to and from our campsite. Our campsite on the river will allow us to fully enjoy camping which will include barbecuing, bonfires and a talent show. On Sunday morning, those up early, will be able to walk along the water in the fog or enjoy sports such as park golf or Korean traditional soccer. At around 10:30am, we will canoe across the river then take a free shuttle bus to Dakalbi (chicken) lunch spot.

Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to spend a fantastic outing with CIK friends, both new and old. The bicycling and canoeing are easy so beginners are welcome to join us as we take in the breath-taking Fall scenery together! Don't delay-reserve your seat now!
