Summer 2010 Korean Culture Camp Registration Open
ASIA, Inc.  would like to invite you to our 1st  annual family/teen camps.  This year's theme will be 'rice.'  Rice is a food item that is loved by both Koreans and Americans on a daily basis and it is served with almost every single meal in Korea.  Rice can be a source of many creative Korean dishes -bibimbop, kimbop, bokeumbop, etc.  We will be learning about the wonderful Korean culture by exploring around rice.
 
Who should consider coming?
All adoptive families with Korean children of all ages and their siblings are welcome to participate.  We are planning two separate camps -family camp and teen camp, in the same camp site.  There will be enough space to accommodate the first 26 families at the ASIA Family Camp and 35 or more teen campers at the teen camp.  There will be nursery programs for infants and toddlers, as well as programs for school-age children, and adults. Special attention will be given to birth children and children from countries other than Korea. Our Teen Camp will be operated in the same facility but in a different section of the retreat center.  While adults and younger children stay in a hotel style room with their parents, teen campers will stay one night outdoors in tents and two nights in a cottage with counselors.
All Services for International Adoptees and Adoptive Families (ASIA), Inc. is a non-profit organization that is committed to assist internationally adopted persons to develop their identities through enriching education programs relative to their country of birth, to grow leaders among internationally adopted individuals so that they may contribute to society, and to gather and distribute information and resources to promote healthy adoptive families with children who joined their families from countries other than the USA.
