Camp Mujigae 2020 무지개

Dear Camp Mujigae Families,
We hope that you and your family are safe and healthy. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Camp Mujigae has been RESCHEDULED to the Fall. Camp will be reformatted this year into a family celebration of Chuseok! We will share all the details, including Registration information, soon. Many factors went into our decision of rescheduling camp, most important being the health and well-being of our camp families and community. In an effort to "flatten the curve", we encourage everyone to stay home and practice social distancing. Click HERE for more information on how to protect yourself and your loved ones. Social distancing doesn't mean social isolation! We are also working on some online activities to keep our camp community connected. Stay tuned for more details. We know that this is a hard and stressful time. If your family is in need of support during this time, please let us know how we can help! Stay safe and healthy! Sincerely, Camp Mujigae Board of Directors |

Camp Mujigae is a camp that provides Korean-American children and families the opportunity to celebrate their Korean heritage, promote positive self identity, and connect with other families. We welcome ALL to camp - Korean adoptees, children of adoptees, parents and siblings of adoptees, families with Korean heritage, and those simply interested in learning more about Korean culture.
Camp Mujigae is a volunteer-run organization comprised of dedicated parents, adoptees, and friends of the adoption community. Camp Mujigae is a not-for-profit corporation with tax exempt status. Featured Family Story...
As an adult Korean adoptee, I realize that Camp Mujigae was an integral part of my life growing up. Being able to embrace my Korean heritage and have unspoken bonds with other adoptees is something that I'll never forget. Camp was the one time of year that we got together and felt like (and were) the majority and not minorities. The shared experiences had brought everyone together. The camaraderie and friendship was truly something special. |
Host Family Application
The cultural exchange does not have to stop at camp! Expand your Camp MJG 2020 experience by sharing your everyday family life with the SIWA students.
Out of town families can also turn Camp into a vacation! You can host SIWA students by renting a local home for the week on Airbnb. Tour the area with SIWA and share the experience of vacationing in America! The students are just as interested about American culture as we are of Korean culture! Continue the fun and make lasting memories for your family! "We hosted when our kids were younger and as empty nesters. The experience is wonderful! Don't give it a second thought!" - Joanne Oldi Capone "We hosted numerous times (& will again this year). When we went to Korea, one of our students spent a day and was a tour guide for us. My kids still keep in touch with many of the students through social media." - Susan Condon Googins We'll see you at Camp! 1821 Hamburg St. Schenectady, NY 12304
