ADOPTIVE
FAMILIES CAMP
POSTPONED
TO 2011
Every one of our camps for adoptive families here in Colorado
has started from a grassroots level, with dedicated parent
volunteers who helped plan a successful camp experience
for their children and families. Though we reached out
to folks who had expressed an interest in our Adoptive
Families Camp for domestic adoptees, that grassroots effort
just didn’t materialize this year. After our summer
camp season is over this year, we are going to widen our
reach, and are determined to develop that volunteer base
for 2011. SO many great ideas have been developed for this
camp already, but we need to find those folks willing to
help strengthen those ideas and execute them, to make the
Adoptive Families Camp a meaningful, fun, and long lasting
experience for adoptive families. We at Colorado Heritage
Camps are determined to make this camp a reality in 2011,
and to make this camp as successful as the ten others we
currently run each summer!

Our Mission
 The
mission of Colorado Heritage Camps, Inc. is to provide educational,
cultural, and family related experiences, which support the healthy
development of families formed by adoption with children from diverse
heritages. Through shared experiences, each Heritage Camp provides
children and families with a sense of community and individual identity.
These camps provide an opportunity to share in a common experience that fulfills a sense of community
and individual identity. It is our hope that every adopted child will leave a heritage camp knowing
more about who they are and where they came from, and that every member of the family will have a better
awareness of and sense of pride in their adopted child's birth heritage. The camps let children
and families relish in being part of a larger group "just like themselves".
