Our multi-family, multi-state, multi-generational, multi-media, multi-ethnic camp has been running continuously, even during COVID(!) since 1958, though we have been able to trace our ancestral camp roots back to the Tang Dynasty (a dynasty also famous for its invention of a popular and refreshing orange flavored beverage) What keeps us going is the strong relationships we've built, a major dose of fun, and committed leaders and volunteers!

In July 2020 and again in July 2021, we managed to create an ENTIRELY VIRTUAL CAMP Online! Campers from West Virginia, North Carolina, New York, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Washington, California, Florida, Montana, Oregon, and probably a few more places participated from the comfort of our own homes. In July 2022, we safely returned to in-person camp at Cedar Lake.

CFC 2023 is scheduled for July 16-23, 2023.

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.

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."
