We joyfully honor the Korean birth heritage of our campers, while highlighting their integration into U.S. culture through adoption. The bond formed with other families, a child’s cultural roots, the broader community, and role models is crucial in affirming a child’s sense of self-worth and belonging.
Korean Heritage Camp is privileged to have dedicated presenters, performers, and counselors from the Korean community in Colorado and globally. Many of them are Korean adoptees who serve as vital reflections for our children to connect with, learn from, and build lasting relationships. The vibrant Korean culture permeates every aspect of the camp for an authentic and enjoyable experience.
The immersive experience at KHC often makes it feel like being in Korea due to the immense support from the Korean community – indulging in traditional food, hearing the language spoken, engaging in games, exploring the culture firsthand, and gaining insights on what it means to be Korean from Koreans themselves.
Adoption represents a unique culture that brings both joys and challenges to families’ lives. At our camp, children and families receive continuous nurturing and encouragement throughout their journey. They find comfort in connecting with other families who share similar experiences.
This camp serves as a tribute to both Korean heritage and adoptive families. The fusion of cultures within families has cultivated a supportive environment that enriches the lives of campers across all age groups including many Adult Adoptees who are returning on their own or with their partners and children.
“The most valuable thing for our family is teaching our kids about adoption and their culture. Learning that they are not the only ones out there in their situation will hopefully give them a sense of belonging when they get older and start questioning who they are and where they fit in.”

A Family Experience
Each camp is a family experience. Adults attend their own workshops and benefit from opportunities to socialize and connect with other parents who have shared experiences and understanding. Non-adopted siblings typically attend camp, and benefit from fun and connection with their peers, while gaining an understanding of adoption and culture. Extended family — grandparents, aunts, uncles — are also welcome to attend camp.
