Camp Sejong was founded in 1992 to empower Korean-American and adopted Korean-American children. Camp Sejong has grown into one of the premier Korean culture camps in America. Campers come from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New England, Virginia, Illinois and as far away as Korea each year.

Camp Sejong nurtures and empowers Korean American children. Internationally-adopted,and Korean-American children straddle two very different worlds: American in culture and lifestyle, but Korean by birth. Most of these children have never been back to Korea and many have had little or no contact with other Korean-Americans. Camp Sejong provides an opportunity for Korean American children and adoptees to connect to and feel a sense of pride in their Korean heritage.

This one-week program gives them a chance to be with kids, who have to deal with the same racial and identity issues in life. It is critical to realize that our children will neither be seen as nor treated as Caucasion in their adult life. Empowering them to deal with difficult issues enhances their self-esteem.

At Camp Sejong, questions are answered, a feeling for their place in the world is enhanced and an appreciation for Korean culture is developed, all in a safe and nurturing environment. Korean American and adoptive parents love Camp Sejong because their children emerge truly enriched by the experience. But if you ask our campers, they'll tell you the best part of Camp Sejong: It's FUN!

One Week Session only, from August 10 to August 16, 2008
