Summer Heritage and Adoption camps are a great event for our children and families. A list of camps can be found at http://camps.adoption.com/. They can be day camps or even week long family camps.
Some of my dear friends have attended the Colorado Heritage Camps and raved about them. From the Colorado Heritage Camp website:
"Colorado Heritage Camps, Inc. serves as a post adoption resource and advocate for children and families with diverse heritages.
We accomplish this by facilitating annual heritage camps, which provide culturally relevant and family-centered experiences for every member of the family.
These camps provide an opportunity to share in a common experience that fulfills a sense of community and individual identity. It is our hope that every adopted child will leave a heritage camp knowing more about who they are and where they came from, and that every member of the family will have a better awareness of and sense of pride in their adopted child's birth heritage. The camps let children and families relish in being part of a larger group "just like themselves". "
