Who We Are
Who We Are
The Midwest Chinese Family Camp unites a multi-generational community of extended Chinese American families for a week of fun and recreation in a modern lakeside retreat setting. We provide a space where families with a diverse set of Chinese/Chinese-American/adopted Chinese families join to share our inherited and adopted culture. We socialize, share our Chinese-American experiences, and celebrate our culture and heritage. Since 1958, our annual gatherings have continued to create and sustain deep and lifelong friendships that are truly priceless.
What do we do?
And we’ll be going back to Cedar Lake in 2025!
As mentioned above, our camp has been running continually since the Eisenhower administration! What keeps us going is our strong relationships and friendships, a good dose of fun, and committed leaders and volunteers!
One of the primary goals of Camp is to provide a safe and fun-filled environment where every child (and adult!) can build a healthy, strong and positive self-image in the company of other Chinese-Americans. Deep friendships are built between all generations as families and individuals return year after year.
We are comprised of a wide range of campers, celebrating the diversity of all Chinese-American families – some with Chinese immigrant grandparents, some with Chinese-American parents, some blended families, and several families with adopted Chinese children.
We welcome you! We are convinced that by creating our camp together, we all have the power to make this ‘A Great Camp For Us All.‘ We invite you to become part of our large, happy extended family!
