opportunities for parent education and participation within its operations;
and, to promulgate healthy, strong relationships with other philosophically
similar institutions.
CAMP CHOSÔN MISSION
Camp Chosôn exists for the
purpose of offering Korean-American youth opportunities to develop
friendships, discover new skills, build respect for others and nature, and
gain an appreciation for their cultural heritage.
The Objectives of Camp Chosôn
are:
- To provide a fun,
caring environment which foster lifelong friendships among the participants.
- To encourage parent
participation, so that lessons learned at camp can be reinforced in the
family.
- To be a place where
Korean-American youth and teens feel welcome to explore the identity issues of
adoption, race and cultural issues.
- To teach Korean
culture.
A natural outcome of this camp
will be to offer the community a resource which reflects the positive aspects
of adoption and cross-cultural education.
