During the period of the 24th Olympic Games in Seoul, a total of 882 youths from 43 countries around the world took part in the Olympic Youth Camp, which was held at the Unification Hall at Karak-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul, for 20 days from September 13 to October 2, 1988. Through various programs, the participating youths cultivated a spirit of service and cemented their mutual friendship to contribute to international goodwill and peace. Major programs of the Camp included the observation of the Seoul Olympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies, tours around the country, attendance at various Olympic commemorative and arts events and home-stays. In the course of the activities, the participants were able to understand the ideas of the Seoul Olympics and the true image of Korea. In particular, the Korean Culture Night presented the unique folk arts of Korea, and the traditional cultures of the participating countries were introduced during Nations' Day programs. The Unification Hall of the Democratic Justice <strong>Part</strong>y was chosen as the camp site. Only 7km or a 15 minute ride from the Olympic Stadium, the hall was ideal for convenient lodging and activities. The hall was refurbished to accommodate Youth Camp participants. The Youth Camp Operation Headquarters operated various amusement facilities for the participants and paid special attention to their health and safety.
15. Seoul Olympic Youth Camp 15.1 Basic Matters 15.1.1 Origin —————————————– and History The Olympic Youth Camp is based on Article 71 of the Olympic Charter, which stipulates that an Olympic organizer may organize an International Youth Camp during an Olympic period under its responsibility. The article stipulates that those eligible are young men and women aged 18 to 22 (Chapter 4 of the Olympic Charter Guidelines); that the number of participants should be between 500 and 1,500; that participants shall bear expenses; and that the camp period should be less than 30 days. It also provides that the camp site should be one of the Olympic facilities with comfortable and hygienic environments, offering separate lodging for male and female participants. Other provisions include that camp programs should involve sports, cultural and folklore activities, and that the organizer should arrange for the participants to have free access to some Olympic sports and cultural events and exhibitions. It was at the fifth Olympic Games in Stockholm, in 1912, that the first Olympic Youth Camp was held. With a view to practicing the Olympic ideals more broadly, Swedish King Gustav V arranged a jamboree by setting up tents around major sports venues, where about 1,500 Boy Scouts were invited from European countries. In the aftermath of the two World Wars, Olympic Youth Camps were held only twice, during the 11th Games in Berlin and the 15th Games in Helsinki, until the 18th Games in Tokyo in 1964, when the Youth Camp took a regular place in Summer Olympic activity. During the Munich Games in 1972, the IOC approved the Youth Camp program as part of major Olympic programs, enabling the Camp to secure a firm foothold in the Olympics. At the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, the organizer decided not to stage a camp and instead organized sports programs for youths in a policy to foster a pre-games boom among young citizens. However, an unofficial camp was held at strong urging from major youth organizations of West Germany and some other European countries. Korea has been sending participants to all camps since the Tokyo Olympics. 15.1.2 Concept and Goals —————————————– The goal of the Olympic Youth Camp is to provide an opportunity for world youths to gather together during the Olympic period to promote international goodwill and better understand the traditional culture of the host country, thereby contributing to a peaceful world, which is the objective of the Olympic Movement. The SLOOC designed the camp programs for participating foreign youths to refresh their understanding of Korea and its culture, and for Korean youths to acquire self-confidence through personal contacts with foreign youths. To achieve this goal, the SLOOC prepared a more colorful and substantial program than at any previous camp, and trained thoroughly the operation personnel. It was also decided to train the Korean participants so as to solicit their assistance in camp operations. As for the scope of participation, it was decided to open the door to those countries with which Korea has no diplomatic relations, and to other developing countries. Camp offerings, too, were to be developed colorfully in a way that complemented the features of the Seoul Olympics, so that both performers and audience could mingle together, and participants could choose programs according to their 1988 January — Quota allocated to NOCs, a management firm for lodging facilities selected, the access control and security plan finalized, and performance programs completed.
