“African/Caribbean Heritage Camp was about letting our children (and our whole family) be a part of something, of finding a place of belonging, and being so supported by everyone (other kids, families, and those awesome counselors!)” - ACHC Parent Comment
African/Caribbean Heritage Camp (ACHC) celebrates its 12th year in 2010 and remains one of the only camps of its kind in the country. This year's camp theme is "Living Transracially: It's not Black or White." The mission of this camp is to celebrate the heritage of all adopted children of the African Diaspora. Our children hale from the United States, Africa and the Caribbean. We may be viewed outside our community as families of black and white people together, with no immediate understanding of our blended cultures and heritage. Our 2010 camp and presenters will help us explore the unique gifts and the challenges that come with our mostly transracial adoptive families and how we can inspire others to see our families differently, hopefully beyond color.
Colorado Heritage Camps developed ACHC for families who adopted:
African American and bi-racial children
African children (from Ethiopia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Uganda and others)
Haitian or other Caribbean children
