Adopted children, siblings, and friends are invited to learn about cultures from around the world and talk about growing up adopted during this two-and-a-half day camp program that brings over 100 children and their families together from around the Washington region and beyond. Check back frequently to learn about camp classes (see to the right.)

We will also have special "Parent's Camp" of discussions and workshops available for those parents who wish to attend camp alongside their children. New and waiting parents welcome too!
