Who are we?
Kamp Kimchee is a week-long family day camp held annually in Crosslake, Minnesota. Kamp is traditionally hosted the second week of July (Monday – Friday). Classes are offered for children ranging in age from 4 years old through 12th grade. Nursery services are available for younger siblings. Special daily programming is provided for Kamp parents.
At its core, Kamp Kimchee is a Korean culture day camp designed for children adopted from Korea. Kamp Kimchee provides Korean-American children with a sense of common identity. It fosters positive self-esteem, and allows their families – siblings, parents, relatives, etc. – to connect with other transracial families. Throughout the years, our Kamp has hosted Korean adoptees, parents and siblings of adoptees, children of adoptees, and children with Korean heritage.
Our Mission
To provide families with an inclusive, supportive Korean cultural community in order to build self-esteem, common identity, and healthy relationships.
