HCAF is very proud of the professionals we have had come speak to adoptive parents, helping them to gain skills and knowledge about adoption or about their child’s birth culture, and offering ongoing support after camp is over.
Year after year, children tell us that their counselors are the MOST important part of camp for them! Many of their parents agree! Our counselors are enthusiastic young adults, some adoptees themselves, some not, who have the same ethnic background as the adopted children at each camp.
With a paid staff of just three, volunteers are the lifeblood of every Heritage Camp. In fact, the camps simply would not exist without the strong support of our volunteers in the following areas, and we always need more!
