Going Beyond the Education
Kamp Kimchee is more than just a place for Korean-transracial adoptee children to learn about their Korean heritage. Kamp gives them a chance to be with other Korean adoptees that have similar multi-cultural families. Kamp gives them the opportunity to be seen as the majority, something our Kampers may not experience in their hometowns. The relationships that emerge are strong, and the empowering feeling is long-lasting.
Off-Site Activities
Our 7th -12th grader Kampers typically spend the afternoons off-site, taking part in various age-appropriate activities to help build healthy relationships, self-esteem, and build teamwork. Past activities have included a high ropes course, bowling, go-karting, mini-golf, river tubing, canoeing, bicycling, and an afternoon at the beach. The activities vary each year.

Parents Matter Too!
While children are attending classes each day, parents are invited and encouraged to attend special programming designed specifically for them to connect with other adoptive parents. These informal workshops are much like support groups, offering education on many topics that affect parents who are part of a transracial family. Our parent programming is designed to help parents on how to aid their child and entire family in becoming a strong support system for one another.
