Wild Wonders: confidence building through creative expression.
5-Day Wild Wonders Workshop
An immersive creative learning experience on Jeju Island, where children explore nature, science, and storytelling through writing, research, and performance.
Who is this for?
Children aged 7-10 who are curious about the world, enjoy stories, and are eager to explore ideas through creativity, discussion, and hands-on learning.
What will my child experience?
Each week unfolds like a creative residency, where children investigate a central theme and transform their discoveries into original work.
They will:
• write stories, poems, and creative nonfiction
• explore forests and observe the natural world
• develop ideas through discussion and collaboration
• create theatre performances, podcasts, and visual projects
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
We love writing, because it makes us think! 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 topic, every week.
Our programs evolve like the seasons on Jeju.
Each week-long workshop reflects the changing landscapes and ecology around us. For the participants, every week is a new experience.
Past themes include:
• The Wonder of Small — exploring microhabitats
• Tales of the Wind — science and folklore
• Brilliant Minds — animal cognition and behavior
“What stood out to me most was the focus on creativity and writing. The children also draw and create - Lucy came home with stories she wrote after just five days, and couldn’t wait to tell me all about it. Their imagination really runs free here.” - Lucy’s Mom
“I notice that Dan writes best with you guys - the studio gives him so much freedom and space, and the way you guide him to explore and build on his ideas just really works.”
- Dan’s Mom
"Thank you for taking such great care of Leo - he’s already asking when we can come back. We’re definitely planning another trip to Jeju next season." - Leo’s Dad
