Our multi-family, multi-state, multi-generational, multi-media, multi-ethnic camp has been running continually 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, we managed to create an ENTIRELY VIRTUAL CAMP Online! Campers from West Virginia, North Carolina, New York, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Washington, California, Florida, Montana, Oregon, and probably a few more places participated from the comfort of our own homes.
VCFC 2021 is, alas/whew, over.

Some of our original camper families continue to attend, and some of their children and grandchildren, and even a few great-grandchildren! We also are delighted to have a strong and consistently jubilant contingent of families with adopted Chinese children who have grown up with the camp over the last decade.
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
