HCAF Adoptee Meetup

This week ends our series celebrating some of the incredible members of Heritage Camp's Board of Directors. Today, we hear from the person who started it all, Pam Sweetser. ❣️

"Something I have always believed is that as parents there is no greater gift you can give your children than the opportunity to discover who they really are, and to celebrate in that discovery alongside them. For our children, provided that opportunity in a way no other place really could."

What started as a single weekend camp for Korean adoptees evolved into something far bigger. Pam's original vision grew to include Indian camp (for her son) and expanded into what we now know as the 8 heritage camps, plus Domestic.

For 35 years, Pam held one core belief: Adoptees deserve spaces where they can discover their identity, connect with their culture, and celebrate being exactly who they are—while surrounded by families who understand and can support them.

That belief built a legacy.

Help us celebrate this incredible milestone and its founder, Pam!👏

🏕️ Camp season kicks off tomorrow with African-Caribbean Heritage Camp!

As we get closer to our flagship summer camp season kicking off in just a few weeks, we have a long list of to-dos to tackle.

✅One of our favorites: counselor training available both virtually and in-person!

Once again, we have an experienced and diverse group of counselors ready to lead camp groups of all ages. Many of them have experienced camp themselves and are excited to support this important community!

Follow along as we share more camp prep updates!🏕️
