Camp Choson is a Korean Culture Camp.
Camp Choson is a Korean culture camp designed for Korean Adoptees, Korean-American children, youth and their families. Camp was originally started for Korean adoptees, but has grown to include Korean-Americans from all family backgrounds. Camp Choson is held annually, typically over the Fourth of July week. Resident Camp (grades 7-12) is six days, while Day Camp (grades K-6) is five days. Our current venue is Association Retreat Center, near Osceola, Wisconsin. More details about camp and the activities included in camp can be found under the Overview section.
