Indian Nepalese Heritage Camp
July 6, 2017 - July 9, 2017
For more than 20 years, families from across the country have gained a fuller appreciation of India and Nepal’s beautiful culture at Indian/Nepalese Heritage Camp (INHC). Friendships are created, strengthened and renewed each year — friendships that endure across the miles. INHC, the second of eleven camps developed by the highly respected Heritage Camps for Adoptive Families non-profit organization, is a family camp with programming for each member of the family from ages 3 to adult. Childcare is available for infants and toddlers.
During camp, we explore the unique gifts and challenges that come from being mostly transracial adoptive families. For those few days in July, adults and children are with a sea of families who are just like them.
We celebrate the children’s birth countries, India and Nepal, and we also celebrate adoption as a culture of its own. The familiarity and sense of identity that comes with being with other families “just like theirs” is what bonds the children and their families and gives them a deep sense of belonging. The participation and contributions from Indian and Nepalese adult adoptees are invaluable to our campers, and to their parents as well. INHC also has a huge “extended family” of Indian and Nepali community members who provide unwavering support throughout the year and attend our camp.
We had a very successful camp in 2016 – with nearly 500 participants, including adoptive families, our amazing volunteer counselors, and outstanding workshop leaders and presenters! To review the 2016 schedule and workshop descriptions, please contact usdirectly, and we will be happy to send you the materials.
We are in the exciting planning stages for INHC2017! Each year at INHC we delve deep into a theme that takes over every aspect of camp in amazing ways. Join us for HONORING OUR JOURNEYS in 2017 with more inormation on that to follow.
Mark your calendars and plan to join us this summer! Watch this site in the new year for updates about this year’s guest presenters, workshops, and activities as they are confirmed.
We hope to see you at camp in July. For further information, please contact us, or “like” our Facebook page to become more connected to INHC.
