Wild Wonders: confidence building through creative expression.
Our popular 5-Day Wild Wonders Program is an immersive learning experience in Jeju that blends outdoor exploration, creative literacy, and collaborative learning.
What do children do at Pilco’s 5-Day Wild Wonders Workshop?
Writing - lots of it. From poetry to chapter books, children unleash their imagination to create characters, build worlds, and embark on epic adventures. We also dive into science writing, curious facts, and big ideas about how the world works.
Not only do we write, we also explore storytelling through theatre, podcast making, and visual arts. Kids venture into nature to observe and reflect, turning their discoveries into creative works.
Forest Walks and Nature
Exploration
We learn to observe, respect and take inspiration from nature by venturing into Jeju Gotjawals - lush volcanic forests teeming with Jeju flora and fauna.
Creative Writing
Young writers can freely explore their creativity in a supportive and inspiring environment that encourages personal expression.
Visiting Scientist & Artist Workshops
Pilco is ever so curious about the world and we collaborate with field experts in art and science, bringing their knowledge and passion into our workshops to inspire young minds.
New programs every week.
Our programs evolve like the seasons on Jeju - spring, summer, winter and fall.
Each week-long workshop reflects the changing landscapes and ecology around us. For the participants, every week is a new experience.
Programs from the past:
The Wonder of Small: Exploring the World of Microhabitats
Tales of the Wind: From Science to Folklore
Brilliant Minds: Animal Cognition and Behavior
and many more!
Testimonial
My child has been participating in Pilco workshops for 4–5 years, and during this time, he has not only improved his English skills but also grown emotionally. Thanks to the well-structured curriculum and the warm, attentive care of the teachers, he looks forward to every Pilco session and enjoys them immensely. Most importantly, as parents, we are very satisfied because this is a program he truly loves. We believe the experiences he has gained through Pilco have become a valuable asset for him.
