Korean Culture Camp of Minnesota is a non-profit organization founded in 1977. The mission of Korean Culture Camp is to promote the cultural identity and self-esteem of children of Korean heritage and their families by providing an annual summer camp where Korean culture is experienced. KCC was created to give children exposure to their Korean culture and heritage, instilling a greater sense of their cultural identity and ethnic diversity. Campers include adoptees and their siblings, children of former adoptees, first-generation Korean Americans and their children, and anyone interested in learning more about the Korean culture, and doors are open to all.
Camp teachers are Korean and Korean American adults who thrive on interacting with and educating children, and camp teachers are selected by Hong Joo Lee. Each class is staffed with two homeroom aides, who are parents of campers that accompany the children, provide a point of contact for drop off and pick-up, and keep a watchful eye on the kids to ensure everyone acts in a safe, respectful manner. Each class’s aides are assisted by two teen helpers, who are former KCC campers that act as camp counselors, manage and mentor the children, and assist in teaching traditional Korean songs and dances performed by campers at the Saturday program. KCC is run by volunteers, and there is a particular need for full-week volunteers, and the lifeblood of KCC is the parents; without their involvement KCC would not be possible.
KCC provides a diverse, challenging and fun curriculum that includes self-esteem classes along with Korean culture, language, art, dance, martial arts, and food. Teen helpers are former campers who act as camp counselors and assist in teaching traditional Korean songs and dances performed by campers at the Saturday program. Campers have the opportunity to purchase special Korean snacks, including the famous melon bars, at the end of each day.
Parents and campers describe their experiences with Korean Culture Camp of Minnesota in several ways. One parent says, “The best week of the entire year!” Another camper shares, “One of my favorite things is seeing my special camp friends each year.” A younger camper says, “I love KCC because the food is sooooo good and you can get Korean treats after camp! I like the art too!”
