Korean Culture Camp

Adoptive Families Support Association is proud to announce its twenty-fourth annual Culture Camp for Korean-American children.  Camp will be held July 17-21, 2012, at the St. Leonard Youth Retreat Center in Avon, Ohio, which is about 20 miles west of downtown Cleveland.

The program is open to children ages 7 (who have completed first grade) through 17 years.  Its purpose is to develop a positive self-image among Korean-American children.  Through participation in games, crafts, and music, and exposure to the foods, language and history of Korea, campers will develop a greater understanding and appreciation of their cultural heritage.  We will also have plenty of regular camp activities such as games, sports, and a Saturday night campfire.

An adult staff of at least 14 is planned: approximately 9 Korean-American counselors and 5 AFSA parents.  All campers sleep in dormitories with adult supervision and all meals are provided.

Camp fees are $290 for your first child and $225 for each additional child.  Non-Korean siblings are welcome!

If you have any children who have not been KCC campers before, and you are expecting to sign them up for the 2012 KCC, please send a us note using the “Contact Us” link on the left-hand side of this web page.  This means of contact is the ONLY way to get such a child on the waiting list for the 2012 KCC.

If you have any questions, please contact Kevin Hensel at (216) 321-1565 or via e-mail at kdhensel@gmail.com.  We look forward to seeing your children at the AFSA Korean Culture Camp!

Registration materials will be available in April 2012.
