Camp Korea offers an exciting summer experience for children of all grades, where they can immerse themselves in Korean culture and language while having fun and making new connections. Our goal is to provide a safe and inclusive environment where Korean-Canadian children can feel proud of their heritage and grow together.

We welcome children from all grades to our camp. To ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone, we have divided them into two groups:

• Campers (Entering Grades 1 – 8): This group of younger children will join us on August 31 for a range of fun activities and games. They’ll have the opportunity to make new friends and explore the beautiful nature of Squamish, BC.
• Counsellors In Training (CIT) (Entering Grades 9 – 12): CITs will not only take part in the exciting activities and games but also work closely with our wonderful camp counsellors to develop their leadership skills. We understand that children in this age group often have questions about their heritage and future aspirations. Our mission is to assist them in discovering their unique Korean-Canadian identity and take pride in it. To support this mission, CIT members will join the camp a day earlier, on August 30, allowing them dedicated time to network with their peers and connect more closely with our counsellors.

This Year’s Theme

Our theme for this year is Hangul(한글), the Korean alphabet! Hangul is an essential part of our language, and we are excited to delve deeper into its history and unique properties. Through this exploration, we also aim to gain a better understanding and appreciation for King Sejong the Great, the inventor of Hangul, and his remarkable acts of generosity and empathy towards his people.

Transportation:

Camp Korea takes place at Camp Summit, a campsite located in Squamish, BC. To ensure convenient travel for all campers and CITs, we provide optional transportation services by bus to and from the campsite. Please note that these services come with additional costs:

• One way trip: $20
• Round trip: $35
• Bus pick-up & drop-off location: St.Andrew Kim Parish (10222 161 St, Surrey, BC V4N 2J8)

While it is recommended for all children to join the bus ride to the camp, we understand that some parents may prefer to personally drive their children to the campsite. In such cases, please refer the information package that will be sent out closer to the camp date. It will contain more details about Camp Summit’s address and drop-off/pick-up times.

Sunday Open House BBQ:

We have a wonderful tradition here at Camp Korea – our open house on the last day of camp! We encourage all parents to join us for this exciting grand finale, where our talented campers and CITs showcase their performances and exhibit fantastic arts and crafts they have created throughout the camp.

During the open house, we have a delicious BBQ option available at Camp Summit. It is an additional cost of $10 per person, and if you would like to be a part of the BBQ fun, just make sure to sign up in the registration form.

For parents attending the open house, once you have checked out with your child’s counsellor, you are free to pick them up. If you can’t make it to the open house, don’t worry! Just make sure to sign up for the bus service, so we can make sure your child has a ride back to Vancouver.

Food

Camp Summit will be providing all meals and snacks during the camp. All food will be carefully prepared to be allergy-free and abundant. However, if there are any specific dietary considerations or allergies, we need to be aware of for your child, please make sure to include those details in the registration notes. Your child’s well-being is our top-priority, and we want to ensure they have a safe and enjoyable experience at camp.
