Latin American Heritage Camp

At Latin American Heritage Camp, we put in dedicated efforts to accurately represent the diverse range of the many countries and cultures that our children originate from. We are privileged to have a team of supportive presenters, entertainers, and counselors who hail from various parts of the Latin American community in Colorado and globally. Many of these counselors and presenters are themselves Latin American adoptees, serving as important role models for our children by reflecting their racial identities. This reflection helps our campers learn, grow, and build lasting connections.

The vibrant tapestry of Latin American culture is interwoven into every aspect of our camp activities, ensuring an authentic and enjoyable experience for all participants. An example of this celebration is our annual fiesta held on Saturday night, where music, dance, food, and joy combine to recreate the lively spirit of a Latin American evening.

Adoption itself represents a unique culture that brings both joys and challenges to families’ lives. At our camp, we provide unwavering support to children and families at every step along their journey. The opportunity for children and parents to connect with others who share similar experiences fosters a sense of belonging and understanding.

Our camp stands as a tribute not only to Latin American culture but also to adoptive families. By merging these two elements seamlessly together, we have cultivated a nurturing environment that uplifts campers across all age groups, including Adult Adoptees who are returning on their own or with their partners and children. 

A Family Experience

Each camp is a family experience. Adults attend their own workshops and benefit from opportunities to socialize and connect with other parents who have shared experiences and understanding. Non-adopted siblings typically attend camp, and benefit from fun and connection with their peers, while gaining an understanding of adoption and culture. Extended family — grandparents, aunts, uncles — are also welcome to attend camp.
