| Korean Camps |
|
| There are over twenty summer camps for Korean adoptee children throughout the United States. The camps offer opportunities for children to learn about their heritage and issues related to adoption. Young people between the ages of four and eighteen participate in such activities as learning the language, dance, drama, Taekwondo, cooking and art. Some camps offer family retreats. At this time there is no national association. |

| Young adults between the ages of 18-27 are eligible to participate in the International Youth Camp (IYC), which is an annual project of the Korean National Commission for UNESCO. “Over the years, IYC has enriched the lives of the nearly 3,100 young people worldwide who have been participants in the program. Through involvement in an interesting and challenging program of workshops, tours, projects and discussions on international issues, IYC participants have enjoyed opportunities for self-development, physical conditioning and intellectual stimulation. Living and working together, the participants have gained a better understanding of themselves, each other and the world around them. |
