What is Chinese Family Camp, you ask?
Watch our Intro Video
Some of Chinese Family Camp’s original campers continue to attend. In fact there are some families that have 4th generation campers in attendance nowadays. We also are delighted to have a strong and consistently jubilant contingent of families with adopted Chinese children, some who have grown up with the camp since the early 2000’s.
CFC 2025 is scheduled for July 13-20, 2025 at Cedar Lake Ministries camp in Indiana.
As in the past, one of the primary goals of Camp is to provide a safe and fun-filled environment where every child can build a healthy, strong and positive self-image in the company of other Chinese Americans. We form deep, decades long friendships among all generations as families and individuals return year after year, and new campers join us for a week of fun!
We don’t know what camp is going to look like in the future.
It could look a lot of different ways.
But this is an incredibly unique and special group. Stay connected.
Be open to whatever comes and use your gifts to keep camp alive.
-Sheila Wang, 2012

Educational and Fun Activities
Camp activities include Chinese inspired arts & crafts, language and culture activities, sports, field day, evening group activities, snacks, and lots of time to hang out.
We have also revived the ancient Chinese art of team body sculpture, as shown in the artistic offering here in an expression of the Chinese poem:
Distant mountains, serene and verdant,
Falling waters, descending into the dust,
The meaning of poetry needs no rhyme,
For the heart’s reflections wander free.
远山静苍翠
Yuǎn shān jìng cāng cuì
流水落尘埃
Liú shuǐ luò chén āi
诗意无须韵
Shī yì wú xū yùn
心境自徘徊
Xīn jìng zì pái huái
