Adopted children, siblings, and friends are invited to learn about their birth cultures 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.
Enjoy instruction in music, language, arts & crafts from around the world and make new friends in the adoption community! Check back frequently to learn about camp classes (see to the right.)
We will also have special "Parent's Camp Program" of panel discussions and workshops available for parents who wish to attend camp alongside their children. New and waiting parents welcome too!
On Saturday evening after camp is over, 17 members of the Korean Traditional Music Association from Seoul will present a special performance to our families. After the performance, join us for dinner at a local Korean restaurant.
