Our many returning students and their parents attest to the popularity of our programs. At our school you will learn about the culture of Korea through cooking, art, and music. You will also encounter a welcoming community of parents, adult adoptees, teens and children. It is not uncommon that non-adopted siblings to join classes as well. We serve a light Korean style lunch at the end of every class so most participants stay and socialize afterwards.
The children’s education program consists of storytelling, arts and crafts, paper folding and drumming classes. Children ages 3-12 are divided into four different age groups and rotate through the four classes. The groups are led by Korean American teens or adult adoptee mentors.
While the children are busy with their classes, parents have their own sessions. The schedule for the parents’ classes is:
February 4– Korean Cooking class with Chef Kiku Nam
March 3- TBD
April 7– Korean Cooking class with Chef Jinkyung Ko
May 5 – Adult adoptee panel discussion
How to sign up: Fill out the enclosed form and mail it to ASIA office along with a payment. If you can’t find the form, please contact Grace Song at hwakangsong@gmail.com to request one. Thank you for your interests and we will look forward to having you at our Korean Culture School.
Can you give us 30 min. this semester? We are in need of a few volunteers who can arrive 30 min. early (9 am) to set up classrooms and stay longer about 30 min. after the lunch (until around 1 PM) to clean up afterwards. Either adoptive parents or adopted teenagers will be great candidates. Contact Grace Song for more information.

All Services for International Adoptees and Adoptive Families would like to invite you to our second annual family/teen camps. This year’s theme will be ‘festivals of Korea.’ We will be creating activities and classes to learn about Korean culture by exploring modern and traditional festivals in Korea.
Who should consider coming?
All adoptive families with Korean children of all ages and their siblings are welcome to participate. We are planning two separate camps –family camp and teen camp.

Special attention will be given to birth children and children from countries other than Korea. Our Teen Camp will be operated in the same facility but in a different section of the retreat center. While adults and younger children stay in a room with a separate shower with their parents, teen campers will in cabins with adult adoptee counselors.
What age is considered as a teen camper?
Teen campers are students who have completed 5th grade through 11th grade by Summer of 2011. If you are 18 and older and have graduated from a high school by June, you can apply to become a volunteer camp counselor. Teen campers can be dropped off at camp alone for the weekend. If you are a family with three children with one child’s being 14 years old, your whole family can participate as family campers, but your 14 years old will be considered as a teen camper. It is recommended that your teen campers stay with other teens if your family will be staying overnight at the camp. We have had birth siblings who came to our camp in the past. It is their choice if they would like to join the teen program or family camp program.
