Register Today for Camp 2013!

Registration for Camp is now available! 2013 Camp Dates: June 26-29

This year,  you can electronically fill complete the registration forms in Adobe Acrobat and then print only the forms that pertain to your camper/counselor. 

 

Our final registration date will be May 15th this year, due to the fact that we need to have our food/supplies ordered for camp by that date. In order to ensure that we have plenty of everything we'll ask for your commitment to this date. After that, we cannot guarantee your camper's spot in Camp.


Also, for the first time we are offering a 10% early bird discount!! Completed registration and payments needs to be received by our Registration Coordinator by April 30th in order to receive the discount. Please be sure that you have had your registration packet weighed at the post office, they will not deliver it without the correct postage on the envelope, and that may delay delivery if you'll be taking advantage of our discount.  


Please read the Camp Cover Letter from Kathleen Duda, Camp Director

Seoul2Seoul Family Tour: July 13-24, 2013

This may be of interest to families looking to visit Korea, from Seoul Sisters Tour & Travel:

"Seoul2Soul provides a cultural experience with emphasis on kid friendly and age appropriate sight seeing and adventures. We will visit not only historic sites, but also travel to several different cities, including Gyeongju and Busan. We will also include a few ala cart excursions, all of which are included in your Korea Land Package. This tour is not a birth search tour and does not facilitate a birth family search. However, we will offer each family the opportunity to visit your child's birth city and make arrangements to visit their orphanage, baby home, hospital or other significant establishment." Learn more on the Seoul Sisters Tours website. 

UPDATE! Arrival: A Short Film by Alex Myung

Congratulations to Alex for successfully fulfilling a "Kickstarter" campaign to create/complete "Arrival", an animated short film where, "one boy discovers that merely escaping into life's adventures isn't enough; eventually all stories end and choices must be made".  For more info about the film, story line, and fundraising goal, please visit Alex's Kickstarter page
