A search will continue today for a South Korean high school student who went missing while attending a remote camp on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast.

Hanwoo Lee, a 19-year-old South Korean citizen who was attending Challis Junior-Senior High School in Idaho, went missing Wednesday while on a school retreat northeast of Powell River, B.C.

Lee’s school group had been at a Christian youth camp called Malibu Club. The camp is located about 150 km north of Vancouver in the Princess Louisa Inlet, surrounded by mountains. It is accessible only by boat or plane and is run by Young Life Mission.

Lee’s group arrived at Malibu Club on Saturday. It’s still unclear what precisely happened, but officials with Young Life Mission tell CTV Vancouver that Lee somehow entered fast-moving waters near the camp and went missing.

RCMP, military, search and rescue crews spent hours Wednesday combing Jervis and Princess Louisa Inlets from the air and water.

"Despite the intensive search efforts, the male was not located and search was called off at dusk,” Const. Harrison Mohr told CTV Vancouver.

Camp officials are calling what happened a "tragic accident."

Lee's cousin tells CTV News that Lee’s parents are on their way to Vancouver from Seoul and will make their way to the remote area together.
