Hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organized by the Korea Creative Content Agency and the Game Culture Foundation, the '2026 Game Culture Family Camp' took place at the Pyeongchang Alpensia Resort from the 10th to the 11th. The event saw the attendance of 254 individuals from 64 families with primary school children from across the country.

The Game Culture Family Camp stands as the nation's only comprehensive gaming culture experience program designed for families. Day one was packed with activities, including a gaming culture quiz, a family-vs-family e-sports tournament featuring KartRider Rush Plus, and a 'Guardian Game Literacy Education' session led by Professor Kim Kyung-il of Ajou University, titled 'Let's communicate with gaming children through games!'

When asked about how to open up a dialogue with their children, Professor Kim offered a bit of wisdom: "Respecting your child's gaming world is the start of communication." He added, "Ask them about their achievements or strategies in-game as if you were consulting an expert. As the child explains their own world, a natural emotional bond is formed with the parents."

For the children, the organizers ran 'Game Culture Experience Education', which masterfully blended physical activities with game mechanics. There were also 'Family Gaming Habit Improvement Expert Consultations' available for applicants. Families with older primary school children received detailed assessments and solutions based on prior gaming habit surveys, while families with younger ones engaged in sandplay therapy to explore their inner feelings and forge deeper emotional connections.

The second day kicked off with the second leg of the family e-sports tournament, featuring Brawl Stars. Throughout the camp, families could wander through the 'Game Culture Experience Zone', brimming with board games and retro titles, or visit the 'Item Shop', which brought game-like elements into the real world. The event wrapped up with an awards ceremony for the most outstanding families.

Yoo Byung-han, Chairman of the Game Culture Foundation, remarked, "Modern gaming has firmly established itself as a bridge between generations and a cultural pillar representing K-Culture." He continued, "I hope this camp served as a meaningful time for parents to understand why their children love games and the sense of achievement they feel within them, ultimately fostering a more positive gaming culture at home."
