It’s that time of the year again- time to plan for Camp Pride!  Camp Pride is a Korean culture camp for Korean American adoptees. For the past several years, KRCC has hosted the high school student segment of the camp (the teenagers!)

The camp is being held Monday, July 28 ~ Friday, August 1.  Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, camp will take place from 9am to 3pm at Hanmee Church in Itasca, IL.  Thursday, we will bring the students into Chicago for a Koreatown fieldtrip and they will stay overnight at KRCC until Friday early afternoon.  Then we will bring them back to Hanmee Church for the closing program around 1 or 2pm on Friday.

We need energetic volunteers to come help with camp this year.  It is always wonderful to have Korean American role models for the students to get to meet, talk with and bond with.  I have enclosed a volunteer form.  Please give it a look, fill it out and email it back to me as soon as possible.

For those of you who will be able to volunteer the whole week, we will be having a planning conference call within the next few weeks.  For the past few years, a group of students who attend camp volunteer to help design the program (this way they cannot yell at me too much if they are bored!)  I will send you the call in information as soon as I set the date with the students. 

Also please feel free to pass this email on to others you think might be interested in volunteering.

Thanks for your consideration and I hope to see you at Camp Pride this year!  Becky Belcore
