Adoption Support at Forever Parents

Summer Camp For Iowa Adoptees And Their Families

Iowans for International Adoption, formed in 1972, was originally created to help families in search of international adoption assistance. Giving families an opportunity to meet and support each other, this annual picnic expanded into a weekend retreat and eventually the current K.A.M.P (Korean Adoption Means Pride) and International Retreat.

An annual KAMP and retreat that takes place each year in Cedar Falls, IA, for both children ages 5-18 and their families to attend. KAMP is a culture camp for adoptive families with Korean children 5-18. Recognizing that adoption is a family issue, KAMP seeks to provide an educational and social experience not only for Korean adoptees, but also for their parents and siblings. Offers individual activities for both parents and the children as well as family activities through the event.

International Retreat is an annual weekend event offering educational activities for families who have adopted interculturally. IR’s purpose is to provide opportunities to learn, share, and socialize with other intercultural families not just those adopting from Korea.

2008 KAMP is August 6 - 8
2008 International Retreat is August 8 - 10
The KAMP runs from a Wednesday through Friday and then the Retreat overlaps from Friday through Sunday. Most families attend both events.
